For a building to stand, it must have a firm foundation. The same is true of a life. Without the proper foundation, a life will be destroyed. The only sure foundation is the Word of God.
We all face storms in this life—situations for which we alone do not have the solutions. Without the wisdom of God’s Word, we are incapable of making right decisions. That is why it is so important to make the Word a part of us by consuming it daily. Remember you are what you eat. If you want to be wise, consume the Word of God.
As we face perplexing circumstances, it is so much better to have the Word already so instilled in us that we automatically choose a direction that is pleasing to God. If we don’t have the Word branded upon our hearts, we flounder.
I come in contact with people, some of whom don’t seem to want help, but it appears to me that they desperately need it. My heart aches for them, and I pray for the Lord to open their hearts and to open a door for me to minister to them. So many problems could be solved if people were willing to surrender—make Jesus the Lord of your life, get His Word hidden in your heart, and determine to do life His way no matter what happens. Standing on that firm foundation is the only way to live!
Scriptures for Reflection
Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:24-27)
