Luke 6:48 ‘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  Galatians 3:1-18; Jeremiah 51-52; Psalm 144

The worst civil disaster in Israel’s history occurred on May 24, 2001. During the wedding of a couple;; Keren and Asaf Dror, a large portion of the third floor of the four-story building collapsed. As a result, 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom’s 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, the youngest victim. Another 380 were injured, including the bride who suffered serious pelvic injuries that required surgery.

Such collapse of buildings are often blamed on wrong foundations,  It is the foundation of a building that will determine if a building will be stable and durable.

Likewise, the foundation upon which we build our lives matter. Jesus spoke of two men who built houses, one built on the rock and despite the storms that came against him, his house stood; but the other built on the sand and when the storms came, his house fell. Therefore every life will stand or fall depending on what foundation it has. And spiritually the deeper your foundation in The Word of God, the stronger and higher up, your life goes.. It is our depth in The Word of God that determines our height in life.

And Psalm 11:3 says ‘If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?’

Every faulty foundation will give birth to a faulty life. You cannot go beyond the level of your foundation. The healthier your foundation, the healthier your life and the better result you will get in life.

When our life is built on the foundation of God’s Word, we learn to trust God in every situation, knowing that whatever He has said concerning us will eventually come to pass. Situations can change and men can disappoint, but The Word of God will never fail.

Without a strong foundation in God’s Word, you sway or topple when hit by life’s storms. Don’t think you can stand by your own strength. The arm of flesh will fail you. It is through the strength of God’s Word that you are strong in the face of temptations and not fall into sin.

Psalm 119:11 says ‘Thy Word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against Thee’.

Indeed it is by hiding God’s Word in our heart that we can stand strong in the face of sin and not compromise. Basing our life on God’s Word is building upon the rock that will never fall. The Word of God is forever stable, solid and never changes. What God says is the same forever. and when you stand upon the solid foundation of God’s Word, no matter the kind of storm that comes your way, you will never fall.

PRAYER:  Lord please help me to set my hope upon you and never on man. I know that as I diligently study Your Word, I am building upon a foundation which will never fail in Jesus Name. .
