Our lives are built on the foundations we choose to build on. We can build on the Word of God, or the things of this earth. People often build their lives around what seems right according to:
- Popular culture – everyone else is doing it
- Tradition – that's how we have always done it
- Reason – it makes sense to do it like that
- Emotions – if it feels right do it
But none of these things is as reliable as living our lives based on the Word of God – this is a truly solid foundation, one that won't wash away in the storms of life:
Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24 [NIV]
Have you reviewed your foundations in the light of our 40 day journey? Do you see anything that needs to be changed?
Lord, help me to build my life on something that will last for ever – thank you for the directions you give me in your Word. Help me to follow you and remain in the light of your word. In Jesus name, Amen.
Memory Verse: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105 [TNIV]
