“Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘A stone which the builders rejected, This has become the chief cornerstone; This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?” (Matthew 21:42)
Upon what is your life built? This world promotes building our lives upon just about everything other than upon a life of faith in the Lord. We strive, and in the end, we all leave behind everything except our character. The Lord is the foundation of life. Build your life upon the foundation which is eternal. Build your life upon, around, and in Christ, for He will give you a new and eternal life.
Help me to see and understand that all things have come into being through You. Apart from You, there is nothing. Help me not listen to the constant noise of this world. Guide me to live according to Your goodness and mercy so that I live life as You have created it to be lived. Lead me, Lord, in the way You know I need to go. You are the cornerstone. Be the foundation of my life.
Lord Jesus, You know where I am affected up by the shifting sands of this age. You know where I have been led astray by the false things which are spoken all around me. Guide me to see, as I am able, all things as they are. Be the foundation of my life and help me to live life with You as the rock of what You are building in me. Be my savior, dear Lord. Amen.
