“So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.” (Isaiah 28:16 NIV)

Jesus Christ is our sure foundation. We don’t have to worry when we rely on Him, because He has our lives in His hands. The plans He has for us are good. Sometimes we have experiences in life that are not good; however, we can rest knowing that God will take those experiences and work them out for our good. Although there are many reasons to be stricken with panic, when we rely on Jesus, we can trade in panic for peace. When we put our hope in the One who always keeps His promises, we can walk in joy.

Choosing to trust Jesus is a daily decision. No matter who or what may come our way, we have to be ready to choose Jesus. The enemy is constantly trying to frustrate our efforts to know and serve our Lord, but greater is He who lives in us than He who lives in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus, our Sure Foundation will never collapse; we can continue to stand strong in Him as we rely on His faithfulness one day at a time.

Sharing this verse from Herry’s post:

“Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].”Isaiah 41:10 (AMP)

“So be truly glad.There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world (1 Peter 1:6-7 NLT).”

Be encouraged! The trials you face are only temporary. As you press on in Jesus, your faith is getting stronger. Everyday that you choose to keep believing in Him, you are drawing closer to love and hope. The Lord has promised to never forsake you. Remain strong in Him, remembering that He lives within you. God hears your every prayer and has an answer for your every struggle. His grace is sufficient for your every need. So keep seeking Him and keep trusting Him. Don’t give up the fight!

Matthew 5:16 NLT, “… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

We have a golden opportunity everyday to let our light shine by showing the love of Jesus. True, there are times when this is easier than others, but nevertheless through Christ we are called to show love. He gives us the courage and ability to do what is best in every situation we face. Even when we don’t realize it, people are watching our actions and they can see the difference Jesus makes in our lives. The good deeds we do should not be done to draw attention to ourselves, but rather to bring glory to our Father in heaven.

Staying connected to the Father through prayer will keep us humble and in tune with His heart. Prayer also keeps our ears open to His voice as He leads us to opportunities to be used for His glory. Being available for the Father’s use will often mean we have to make sacrifices; however, it brings joy to know we are helping others to know Jesus. Plus, we never know what someone is going through; the love we show can help them get through the day.
