'Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away.' Isaiah 28:16-17 (NLT)
'But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”' Timothy 2:19 (NLT)
When
in times of need, it never hurts to look to Christ for the answer. He
promised to provide for all that we need. Why not look to Him? He was
sent to die for all mankind and to be the foundation stone chosen by God
for the Church and the cornerstone in which His Church was build upon.
He was and is righteous and able to support it. He was and is the
Perfect Plummet Stone. He is the perfect plummet stone which is the Tool
that all quality builders use. All that place their faith in Him should
have no reason to worry.
For
those who put their faith in Him, He is the only hope of escape from
the wrath that is to come. For justification, the believer puts their
trust in His righteousness alone. For wisdom and strength we rely on the
ministry of the Holy Spirit. In God we find His favor and through Him
we find our peace, joy and happiness.
For
those who put their faith in themselves they will find themselves to be
inadequate in the spiritual realm and in the ways of God. God set up
His Kingdom with His Laws and God will judge us based on His Laws which
are fair and just. We are not able to live by His Laws on our own. He
will bless all who choose to believe in Him and to live under His Rule
of Law and they will live and for those that don't believe He will
destroy.
For
His Truth stands firm and yet He may be calling me to give up some
things. He may be putting me to the test. He may be telling me to purge
and to clean out a few rooms in my refuge in order to make more room for
Him in my life. Knowing Him is knowing that He loves me and only wants
the best for me. He paid a great price for me and the peace and the joy
that I find in Him will cost me something as well. I will have to part
with the things of this world that I have placed my faith in that are
not of Him. Be gone you lies of the enemy, be gone with you and good
riddance. To the hail and to the floods you things of evil that distract
me must go. Spiritual gains for Him will far outweigh the losses to
myself and my flesh. For His Glory I gladly give. I belong to Him. I
turn away from evil and I turn to Him.
Dear Father.
Thank
you for Your most amazing and timely Word! I am free when I submit my
life to You and live by that Word of Truth. Bless and keep my wonderful
family. Michael and Brittany, Eric and Sannah, Samantha and David and
Sarah and Debbie have been so helpful during the purging and cleaning
season You are putting us all through. Include my husband and friends
Darla and Anna and the rest. I love them all Lord.
Open
my eyes to see the things that matter, the eternal. Thank you for that
last box of baby clothes eye opener last night. Oh how patient is the
man that you have given me as a life partner. No less than six times has
he had to move that box! Spirits that bind, set free! Attitudes that
clutter and won't let go, gone and done! Your timing is always perfect.
Whoever believes need never be shaken!
Special healing prayers for Kathy and Myrna during their cancer battles. Thank you Lord.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.
