Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (KJV) ( Isaiah 28:16 )
Do we find security in our jobs, finances, success, family, friends or anything that isn't God? If our security is on anything other than God then, our sense of security will be shaken once it crumbles!! If we stand on Jesus the stronger rock(firm and tested rock!) we can withstand any quake and will be SECURE in Him although initially we will appear shaky. When we feel low or depressed let us examine if has remotely even to do with a foundation that isn’t Jesus. Let us admit if we make mistakes and confess to Christ! Remember God’s covenant to us is based on His faithfulness to us, not on our merits! Jesus promises something life can’t destroy - eternity, He invites us all to something that we don’t deserve or can earn- grace!! Does it not mean security, Hope and A bright future???
It doesn't mean we can live anyway we want to live because of the grace we've been given. Romans 6: 1, 2 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid". Father God help us to examine ourselves if our security is found in anything other than you…even at challenging times and hours, help us to walk in newness of life that we may live a life pleasing to you!
