A reminder for
today
For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1
Corinthians 3:11)
It is fight to stay awake time. Last night I must have slept
barely four hours as our work burden increases and our time decreases. Why is
it important to have the right foundation? When you look at buildings, they
need a good foundation to sustain them and to keep them standing. A bad foundation
will soon be noted with cracks in the walls and areas where the house starts to
sink. A house with a bad foundation can crumble and fall. Paul speaks to the
church in Corinth about the foundation a church must be built on and He make it
explicitly clear that Jesus is the only foundation for any church that we build
on Christian standards.
Paul continues to say
in verse 16: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the
Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Paul pulls us back to remind us that we are the
temple of God, because in us dwells the Spirit of God. This means that you must
be sure that you build your temple on the right foundation. Jesus is our
foundation and He is an unbreakable and unmovable foundation that will
withstand any storm. We look at the news and we see how people are making
preparations for the coming hurricane Irma. In life we face many terrible
storms so it is imperative that your foundation will stay strong through these
troubled times.
How do we do that? Well it is quite simple, when you
accepted Jesus as your saviour He gave you the Holy Spirit to help you, but He
also became your foundation that anchors you. But we need to maintain that
foundation, because the Jesus foundation is a relationship that needs work. We need
to spend time in prayer and continually work towards a Christ like attitude. Our
live must duplicate His Word and teachings and we need to make these part of
our lives and part of who we are. A continuous trust relationship with the Lord
will strengthen your foundation to the extend where no storm can topple you.
Come with me as we build on our foundation in prayer and
trust.
Lord, teach us to strengthen our foundation in you and let
the Holy Spirit guide us and remind us to pray more and spend more time with
you. Let us read your word more often and fill our minds and hearts with your
teachings. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
