What is your foundation? What is the solid ground you can stand on to be unmovable when the storms of life hit? How do you remain calm amidst the chaos around you? Do you have a foundation? Do you have solid ground you can stand on?
Storms come into our lives. They come in various forms. They may come in health issues, relationships, on the job, and even within the church. Having a strong foundation and solid ground to stand on so we can withstand those storms is critical.
Jesus told the parable of the foolish man who built his house on the sand contrasted by the wise man who built his house on the rock. We have heard it a hundred times. We understand its meaning. Yet do we put it into practice by choosing to make Jesus our cornerstone, our strong foundation?
Unfortunately, there are many people in this world who do not, even some Christians. Even those who say they believe buckle under the weight of life’s troubles. Why? They are not standing on Jesus. We can argue it all we want. However, the proof is in our actions or lack thereof. For when we stand on Jesus, the storms of life will not cause us to crumble, even if we may get blown about a bit.
I pray we all choose to stand on the cornerstone, the strong foundation of Jesus Christ. I pray we not only understand it but put it into practice. I pray each one of us will withstand the storms of life because we are leaning on Jesus. Make Jesus be your cornerstone. Let Him be your strong foundation. Withstand the storms of life with Jesus.
Isaiah 28:16
therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
“See, I am laying in Zion a foundation stone,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation:
‘One who trusts will not panic.’”
