Solid Foundation

2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

Think about all the things that have built you up in your life, the things that have been the foundation of your life. Now think about how sturdy the all those things are, and how well they have supported you throughout your life. If you've built your life up on things of this world, such money, jobs, family, friends, relationships, and self-image, most likely your foundation in life hasn't been as stable as it should be, and may have even caused you to fall a few times. But God's word tells us clearly that when we base our lives on God, our foundation is immovable and unshakable, standing firm with the perfect power of God. And inscribed into this solid foundation are the words that define our lives: "The Lord knows those who are His" and "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness". Once we base our lives on God, we belong to Christ, and are not only just known by Him, but we begin to build an intimate relationship with Him that remarkably fills our lives. Also with this new foundation in Christ, we find that we have freedom from sin and we are able to confidently deny the wickedness of our old lives because of the power of Christ's life in us.

Open up to God about what you base you life on and why. Talk to Him about the stability of that base, and how it is affecting you. If you feel God leading you, come to God and make Him the foundation of your life. Commit to defining your life by your identification in Christ, and ask God to guide you to stay true to your identity in Him.

I pray that this empowers you with the solid foundation of Christ throughout today. I hope everyone has an awesome day!
