Do you know what your foundation is? When the ‘rubber meets the road’ what is your basis for moving on? Whatever your foundation is, it not only stops the fall it provides the basis for starting again. Without a solid foundation you live life on a slippery slope or in shifting sands.
For those who choose to make the Lord their foundation, it is considerably more solid then the transient other choices. Example: if you choose your job, you could lose it through layoffs, the position being dispensed with, or being fired. What seemed permanent isn’t. If you choose your friends – they, or you, could move away, you could get in a tift, or you just drift apart. Again, not permanent. Quite honestly, there is no permanence. You can’t find any stability in this constantly changing society.
Except – the Lord doesn’t change. He even promises that in His word. He also states that He shows no partiality – He won’t care for/love someone else more than you. And best of all… you don’t have to earn any of that. It’s His free gift to you. Plus He is the only, as in ONLY, one that can do this – He is the only one who chose to die so that you could have an abundant life. But don’t look at ‘abundant’ with natural eyes The Lord’s gifts stand the test of time and continue. And they are yours.
He is the only one that did choose to die but also to rise again to provide you everlasting life. A life now and a life when you go home to be with Him. At the end of the day, and at the beginning too, where your foundation rests will either sustain you or wash away.
