The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 7:1 (MSG)
Dear friend, do what I tell you; treasure my careful instructions.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 25:14 (ESV)
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Matthew 7:24-25 (ESV)
24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
My observation:
The choice word for today is foundation. What kind of building materials are you building your life upon? As for me, I have made my choice. You can have the world, but give me Jesus.
1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
The hymn writer expresses my heart in the lyrics from the hymn, "The Solid Rock".
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
- Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
John 1:12 (ESV)
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so grateful that you sent Jesus into the world to be the foundation on which I can build my life. I am so glad that I can sing, "I'm a child of the King". Father, I ask you to cleanse my heart, and bend my will so that I will be a hearer and doer of the word of God. Father God, make me a wise builder.
