JESUS-OUR FOUNDATION

” FOR NO ONE CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION OTHER THAN THE ONE WE ALREADY HAVE- JESUS CHRIST.” 1 CORINTHIANS 3:11

It is so important that as followers of Jesus we stay on the right track. It is easy for us to get off the path we are on and begin to follow the things of this world. Because we are surrounded by worldly ways, we sometimes begin to listen more to those who lead this world than we do to the one who created and sustains this world. Everything we decide to do should be compared to God’s holy word. What does our Lord say about what we are doing? What does the Lord say about the way we are thinking? What does the Lord say about the things we are listening to and hearing? As we step back and look at what we are doing with our lives are we seeing ourselves stepping out in faith or are we stepping out into the world? As Christians we have laid a foundation built on Christ. What are we building upon that foundation? Are we building faith, love, joy, peace of mind, strength of understanding and wisdom? Or are we building worldly ideas that help to create fear, doubt, worry and dishonor to our God in heaven? We are only human. We make mistakes. Our Lord is there to pick us up and put us back on the right path. However, we must recognize our mistakes and be able to go to him for his help. It is my hope that we all scrutinize our lives everyday, that we compare our actions to what our Lord tell us to do. We have built a foundation on Jesus. We must be sure that what we are building upon that foundation is holy and desirable to God in heaven. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
