“The foundation is Jesus Christ….”

(1 Corinthians 3:11b NRSV)

 

Devotion

 

When I was in junior high, my mom and dad decided to add a master bedroom to the house.  Everybody was veryexcited about the addition.  I was thinking we would start that day; I mean, all you have to do is build the walls and put the roof on, right?  Wrong!  My dad reminded me that in order to build the extra space, we first needed a solid foundation.  Once that was in place, we could build whatever we wanted.

 

The scripture reminds us the foundation is already in place…”that foundation is Jesus Christ.” (v. 11b)   So many times we get in a hurry to get things in place to look the part, when our foundation needs to be solid first.  It is good to know that Jesus Christ, the solid rock, is our foundation!

 

Prayer

Almighty God, thank you for a foundation that is unwavering!
