Jesus Christ told His followers that a stable foundation is critical in building lives. He said, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock” (Matt. 7:24-25). The foundation of Jesus Christ is what will give us the stability our hearts and lives need now and into the future.
The right foundation makes the difference between something that lasts and something temporary. Jesus knew that though foundations are invisible, they are vitally important to the strength and stability of the house (Matt. 7:24-25), especially when it is battered by the elements. He also knew the hearts of His listeners. They would be tempted to take the easy way, find shortcuts, or do things by halves to gain their objectives.
By allowing the Lord’s wisdom to guide us in our relationships, decisions, and priorities, we find that He provides the most trustworthy foundation any life could be built upon.
Gracious Father, You are the Lord God, the King of heaven, and I choose to place my hope in You because
You alone are worthy of my trust. In Jesus Precious Name I pray, Amen!
Today my precious friends I encourage you to build
your lives on the right foundation even though it is hard work, and other
foundations may be quicker and easier to build upon. Always remember though that
God’s truth is the only bedrock worth building on. When the storms of life hit, houses built on and held together by Him stand firm. Today Be a Blessing- build your Life on God's foundation- Solid Rock!
😊❤
