How strong is your foundation? Not of your house. Of your life! A pandemic and all its implications for every area of life is breaking our routines, shaking our habits, and showing us just what our lives are based on. So, how strong is your foundation? I’ve never forgotten when someone told me that every fear, every disappointment, every anxiety, every frustration in life is a sign that you’re putting your hope in the wrong place. I’m realizing how often my foundation is me, and I’m not very strong. I’m so sinful!
God wants you to have a rock-solid foundation even in the pandemics of life. So Paul gives this encouragement to every preacher of God’s Word: “Each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:10-11). Do you know who supports you even when everything else fails? Jesus. Do you know who forgives you even after the most foolish sin? Jesus. Do you know who carries you through even the darkest days of life? Jesus. Jesus Christ our Savior is the only foundation strong enough to build on. May every fear, every anxiety, every worry in these difficult days send you back to your true, rock-solid foundation: Jesus!

Hi Pastor,
This blog post was so fitting for our family today! The Holy Spirit has been speaking today through our family reading in Luke 12 about not worrying and this goes hand in hand with it! Plus my other devo out of Streams in the Dessert. All 3 go hand in hand.
Everything is kind of up in the air right now with Senegal, our flights were cancelled for the 2nd time. We’re working to rebook our flights for August 12th. God is making us trust Him deeper and I’m realizing how much security I feel in the certainty of life, and now everything is uncertain all the time! Great lessons for sanctification.
God bless you.
Sincerely,
Heather
“But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,” Philippians 3:7-8

Hi Heather. I’m sorry to hear that your plans are changing again. How good to know that Jesus Christ is your foundation! I said a prayer today that God bless you and your family and open up a way for you to make it to Africa to share his Word there. God bless your day!
