Finding Solid Ground
Hi y’all! Today I’m sharing how we can embrace the unshakeable foundation that only Christ provides.
In a world that often feels uncertain and ever-changing, it’s easy to feel unsteady, like we’re standing on shifting sand. But as believers, we are called to find our stability and strength in Christ, the solid rock on which we can firmly build our lives.
The Rock That Never Fails
Jesus Christ is referred to as the cornerstone in Scripture, the foundation upon which everything else is built. In Matthew 7:24-25, Jesus says:
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and outs them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
This passage reminds us that life’s storms will come- trials, temptations, and challenges- but when our lives our built on the truth and love of Christ, we can withstand anything that comes our way.
Laying the Foundation
Building a life on Christ requires intentionality. Here are some practical ways to ensure He is the cornerstone of your life:
Spend Time in God’s Word: The Bible is a guide for living a life rooted in Christ. Dedicate time daily to read and meditate on Scripture, allowing His truths to shape your decisions and attitudes. (Psalm 119:105)
Prioritize Prayer: Prayer is our lifeline to God. It’s where we find our guidance, strength, and peace. Regular communication with Him helps us align our hearts with His will. (Philippians 4:6-7)
Engage in Community: Surround yourself with those who encourage and challenge you to grow in your faith. The body of Christ is a vital support system as we navigate life’s ups and downs. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Live Out Your Faith: Faith is not passive; it requires action. Love your neighbors, serve those in need, and live in a way that reflects Christ’s character. (James 1:22)
Trusting in His Strength
Building our lives on Christ does not mean we won’t face difficulties. However, it does mean that we’re not standing alone. Psalm 62:2 reminds us:
“Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”
When we rely on God’s strength, we can face life’s challenges with confidence, knowing that He will uphold us.
Reflection
Take time to reflect on where your foundation lies. Are you building your life on temporary things that shift and change, or on the eternal truth of Christ? If you feel unsteady, it is never too late to reset and rebuild on Him.
Start small: commit to daily prayer, join a Bible study, or take steps to live out your faith more boldly. With Christ as your foundation, you’ll find peace, purpose, and a strength that endures.
In Christ, we find the solid ground we all long for. Let Him be the cornerstone of your life, the anchor in every storm, and the source of unshakeable hope. With Him, we can stand firm, no matter what comes our way.
