The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 14:11 (HCSB)
The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will stand.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:33 (HCSB)
Teach me, Lord, the meaning of Your statutes, and I will always keep them.
The Word for encouragement:
Matthew 7:21-27 (HCSB)
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ⌊only⌋ the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?' 23 Then I will announce to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!' 24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn't collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn't act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great!"
My observation:
Just as our home requires being built on a solid foundation so does our lives. Even more so our lives must meet the same test, and the stakes are so much higher because where we spend eternity is at stake. The only sure foundation to build our life upon is the solid rock of Jesus. All other foundations will result in a great collapse when the winds blow and the storms come in this life, and we will fail the ultimate test on the day of judgment. The only hope we have is to be in Christ Jesus, the solid rock. All other ground is sinking sand.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I praise and thank you that you have provided everything that we need to build our lives upon in the person of your Son, Jesus Christ. Father, I thank you for the confidence that we can have when we build our lives upon Jesus because Jesus never fails.
