Firm Foundation
Have you ever been so sleepy and had to wake up and jump out of bed? You couldn’t get your balance. You were stumbling around even feeling a little dizzy because you weren’t quite awake. Then, all of a sudden, you were trying to grab for anything to keep you from falling. And, in the midst of all the chaos, somehow, you were able to grab a hold of the bed or chair that caught you before falling.
Psalm 34:23-24, “If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”
Maybe you can’t relate to the stumbling around instead you feel like depression, oppression, or some other kind of darkness has made you feel like you have been pushed into a deep dark cave to where you couldn’t get out or stand up. Psalm 40:2 “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” You can rest assured He is a safe haven for you to cry out and ask for help in your stumbling around or in your slimy pits. Psalm 18:2, “The Lord is my rock my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge…” Christ is our Solid Rock, a Firm Foundation in which we can stand and feel secure.
Then, the last part of that verse says, “I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise and I am saved from all my enemies.” He is ready to save you if you will just call out to Him! Just like when my daughter falls down and cries out to me for help, I rush over to her side, hold her, kiss her and tell her that its going to be ok.
The Father is waiting for you, so He can wrap his arms around you as He pulls you up and out of the ditch that has held you captive. Refuse to allow the enemy to make you dizzy, stumble, or fall back into the abyss that once held you. Plant your feet firmly on Christ the Solid Rock our Firm Foundation.
