This post is about the ‘Rock‘ upon which I have built my life. The ‘Rock‘ that supports me and keeps me from crumbling. The ‘Rock‘ that stands firm beneath me and holds me up during the hardships of life!
Think for a minute about building a house. The Foundation is one of the most important aspects of the structure. This concrete and metal foundation must support the weight of the whole house. This foundation holds the house in place and stops the house from being washed or blown away by the elements.
Likewise I would testify that building ones life upon the rock of Jesus Christ will bring you truth and stability that will never waiver. If you build upon this solid foundation by keeping all of God’s commandments and inviting Jesus Christ to be apart of every aspect of your life, you will be strengthened and feel His support when the winds blow and the storms come. And though you may be tossed about and shaken for a bit you will not crumble.
I know for a certainty of the words I speak! For a time…..my foundation was one of sand that did crumble and wash away, taking me with it. I have tasted of the despair of being broken. I have truly lived in darkness. Jesus Christ is the light and the Rock that supports, heals, and lifts!
Build Upon Jesus Christ for the strength to weather life’s storms.
Helaman 5:12
“And now, my sons, (and daughters) remember remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer who is Christ, the Son of God, that you must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation. A foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.”
