What Really Matters

What Really Matters

Is your house built on the Rock?

My boss gave me a devotional book for my bday- Devotions to Go.  It's sooo cute,  but its content will sharply strike your soul.  This morning the topic I read was about security.  Bible scripture is from Isaiah 32:9-18.  It tells about the complacency of women and finding security on what we presently have.  Security to most of us are from our jobs and our families.  But do we ever really find security in an unchanging God? I agree with the writer that "beauty fades, stocks tumble, any one of them could be gone in a moment.." As I was pondering over these things I remembered the first lesson I had for my training as a church worker.  It was about foundation. The lesson talked about the wise man and the foolish man who built houses. The wise man built his house on a rock while the fool built his on sand.  No storm could destroy the house that is built on the rock. But the one who built on sand had his house crashed when the storm came.  (Matthew 7:24-27)

Careers, friends, families, yes even our kids may disappoint us and crush our spirits.  But one whose life is built on the rock who is Christ can never be moved.  Yes we can cry sometimes over some frustrations that we experience, but the joy that comes from the ultimate Joy-Giver will always lift us up, cheer us up even when things around us may seem bleak.  Jesus says-- "in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."   That's a promise we can always claim.  Jesus has overcome the world! We can have victories over all the challenges that we're about to face or we're facing right now.  Cheer up, cheer up! Life is to be enjoyed! With Christ of course!
