Is Your Foundation Secure?

As we all know, there are a lot of changes taking place all over the world. Some changes involve finances, some involve health, some involve well-being, and some involve death. During times like this it is extremely easy to become sidetracked and discouraged - and yes, I admit that it can happen to me. However, one way to ensure that you are able to bounceback for a comeback is to secure your foundation.

Everything that is creating begins with a foundation. Without a foundation one doesn't know where to begin. The most common example of a foundation and its' purpose is the foundation of a building. Underlying a building is its foundation, and in most buildings, the foundation is rarely seen. "If it is seen at all, usually only a small portion is visible, but it is there. If no foundation exists, the building soon becomes crooked and warped. In most cases, it will collapse and be completely unusable." (John W. Ritenbaugh)

In this day and time we find security in our 401k's, relationships, salaries, and personal autonomy. However, we must ensure that our foundations are built on faith and trust. First and foremost we must have faith in God and trust in his divine purpose. As stated in Hebrews 11:6, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

I definitely have my days of doubt and confusion; but when I look back over my journey, I remember that it has been my faith that's kept me grounded, humble, motivated, and blessed. God is definitely in control and has a perfect plan for us and as long trust in his word and promise, WE WILL NOT FAIL.

The next time you are facing a situation and begin to worry about your life remember"

100% of self = 0% of God
50% of self = 50% of God
0% of self = 100% of God

Bountiful Blessings only happen when God is operating at 100%, so move out of his way and submit.

As said in Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding."

As it is was asked in my morning devotion:

How much of what we do is really motivated by an implicit trust in God's Word? This is how we can tell whether we are living by faith. We must be honest in our evaluation though. We find it very easy to shade the truth through self-deception. We justify disobedience by rationalizing around God's clear commands or examples, saying that our circumstance is special because . . .

God Bless and Have a wonderful day,
