The Lord is Our Foundation




Though the Lord is very great and lives in heaven, he will make Jerusalem his home of justice and righteousness. In that day he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. 
(Isaiah 33:5-6)(NLT)


The great buildings of the world take our breath away with their amazing height and striking architecture. Yet each one rests upon an unseen foundation that shoulders their immense weight. Without this foundation, the building would collapse. Likewise, the structure of our life stands secure only when it is built upon God and his precepts. Upon this sure foundation we can build a life characterized by salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Let us exalt God through a firmly established life of reverence and obedience to him.


ETERNAL GOD, you are our sure foundation, and we build our life upon you. We praise you for granting us salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Teach us to rest secure in your strength, knowing that you will support any burdens we have. Amen.

Psalm 122:1

I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord." (HCSB)
