How is our foundation? Are we building our foundation with the right tools? Jesus foundation is with God the Father, God’s word. Jesus fought with, “It is written.” Can we speak the good news to those who are in need of the perfect physician? Can we also shake off the dust, the hurt of those who reject God’s word and pray and let God cause the increase where He wills? Only God knows when a heart is truly ready to receive.
Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
Matthew 9:11-13 And when the pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I require mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Jesus foundation was and is perfect, strong, healthy, built on the Word of His Father God. He walked among sinners and loved them. Jesus lived the perfect life in God’s love, God’s way. How is our foundation?
Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Is Jesus, Jesus teaching our cornerstone?
1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
We are none without sin. Only by God’s mighty grace and love can we be saved, rescued from falling.
Psalm 19:12-13 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be innocent of great transgression.
Psalm 121:3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
James 4:7-8 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
