Notice that this is
something that God has done. No man can
lay down a foundation that is trustworthy enough to build his life on. Any attempts to do so will not stand the test
of time. One’s life will crumble and
fall apart as it faces the many storms of life.
Jesus is the foundation stone that Isaiah spoke about. He is firm, a foundation that never moves or
crumbles. We can put our trust in Him
knowing that He will always be steadfast and true.
Jesus has been
tested. Scripture tells us that He was
tempted in all points just like we are and yet He did not sin. He had many opportunities, but His love for
God and connection to God was so strong that He never wavered in His rejection
of sin’s opportunities. I do wonder
whether or not if we were to love the Lord more if we would not sin as much. Is our connection to God so real and strong
that we are able to say no to sin? It
should be a challenge to us to do all that we can do to make our connection to
the Lord as strong as we possibly can so we will have the willpower to resist
temptations. I know I have found that I
am the weakest in resisting temptation when I am weakest in my prayer and
devotional life.
Jesus is our precious
cornerstone. Everything in a building is
built around its cornerstone. If the
cornerstone is bad, the structure of the building will be weak and eventually
crumble. Much care has to be given to
make sure the cornerstone is what it should be.
The same thing holds true in our relationship with the Lord. Our spiritual stability and longevity depends
on how much we allow ourselves to be built on Christ. He is crucial to our life with God and there
can be no compromising our connection to Him.
It is safe to build
your life on Christ. In fact, as the old
hymn put it, “all other ground is sinking sand.” If you try to build your life on anything
else, you will make a mess of your life.
Only in Christ are we able to handle whatever comes our way in a way
that pleases God.
All who believe in Him find a safe haven
in which to stand. They no longer have
need to run and hide. They no longer
have to chase after things to satisfy.
In Christ alone do we find what our souls need. In His life we find peace and contentment. In Him we find a life worth living for.
