"The heart of God's promise is this: No matter how uncertain the world may be, there is a solid place on which the followers of Jesus can stand. And that place is His name - a foundation stone...it's important to remember God's pledge: 'Look!' He says to us. 'See what solid ground I hve for you to build your life upon - for developing plans, making decisions, and working out problems. Look! It's sure footing, an established foundation. In my name you will find stability!'"
I am so eagerly awaiting stability. Financial, emotional, spiritual, and physical. All of those things cannot exist apart from resting on God's foundation. He is where I need to build my life - trusting Him that He will "hold up" the stuff that's important.
Lord,
Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give me an unconquored heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give me an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow on me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek You, wisdom to find you, and faithfulness that may finally embrace You, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The world wants to rush me, saying if I don't hurry, I can't get ahead. But as I pray in Jesus' name, I take my place upon the foundation stone you have laid for my life in Him.
