Good Morning Christian Peeps! I was impressed this morning about foundations. Are we built on a solid foundation this morning (the Rock) or are we built on just the earth that can wash away. Where are we building our foundation? Is it in the word? I believe from birth I was destined to be used by God...but over time I tried to build my own houses without using God as my solid foundation and each time I thought that I finally gotten it built just like I wanted, something would happen and it would all crumble around me. Then there would be Jesus just waiting to see what I would do...calling to me...but I thought I knew what I was doing....I am headstrong... :) I would have another idea and began to build again...working hard to make this work this time.....and again it would all crumble leaving me once again staring at Jesus and he was still trying to get my attention. Needless to say I got tired of building on the earth where everything kept crumbling...now I am building on his foundation on the rock. It's taking longer because I have to stop often and listen to make sure I am putting the stones in the right place and positioning it where he wants it to go. My foundation already feels stronger and has taken a few hits and has stood strong. If your foundation tends to crumble, I encourage you to begin again and build on the solid rock. No matter how many times we have built before, we can always begin anew and he will be there to help us every step of the way. He wants us to be strong in him...he knows the troubles we will face and he wants our foundation to be strong so that we can stand. Dear Lord, help us today to begin anew in building our foundation in you and on your rock. Show us where to place our stones and how to get the right materials that will withstand the pressures of this life. Help us to understand that those tools come from prayer, reading your word, and meditating on your will. For your will we pray. Amen.
Be Abundantly Blessed Today!
Luk 6:48
He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock
Luk 6:49
But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."
Prayer Request: There was a prayer request sent forth at church to remember a Lady and her son. Her Father is in the Hospital not doing well and her son is in the process of being charged with Murder....let's remember this family in our prayers.
