Luke 6:48 KJV

‘He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock ‘

DAILY READING  2 Corinthians 1:1-2:4; 2 Kings 14; Micah 4:1-5:1

The world’s largest, seismically isolated building, is the new international terminal at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
It is believed by engineers that an earthquake cannot destroy this building. This is considered a great development because geologists believe that there will be major quakes within the next few decades in Istanbul. In fact, the need for the seismically isolated building arose after a massive, 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey in 1999, killing about 17,000 people and destroying billions of dollars worth of property.
In the aftermath of these quakes, the airport was built as a structure that will not be rocked by an earthquake.
Stretching across more than 2 million square feet, the terminal doesn’t sit directly on the soil, but rather on more than 300 isolators and bearings, that can move side-to-side during an earthquake. The whole building moves as a single unit, which prevents damage from uneven forces acting on the structure.
The secret of the building’s stability is in its strong foundation.
Likewise, the secret of our surviving the storms of life will depend on the strength of our spiritual foundation. Apart from physical earthquakes, there are spiritual earthquakes that come to rock a man’s life. Jesus spoke about the storms, wind, and rain that often come to test the strength of one’s spiritual foundation.
The question is, what provisions have we made to be sure we will not be rocked by the earthquakes of life. One sure thing we can do is laying our foundation upon the rock of God’s written Word. When we build our lives on the strong foundation of The Word, we will never fall.
A great portion of the cost, time and efforts of the overall construction process, focuses on the foundation. If you don’t get the foundation right, things will only keep getting worse. In engineering, it is known as compounding defects and it means that mistakes keep growing.
Psalm 11:3 says ‘If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?’
Indeed we must build on the strong foundation of God’s Word because the structure of our lives depends on it.!The more rooted and grounded we are in the Word, the higher and stronger we will go in God.

PRAYER: Lord please help me to build my life upon the solid foundation of Your Word. Please cause my heart to be constantly rooted in Your truth, so as to make me unshakeable in the face of every storm in Jesus Name.
