Today's Daily Devotional

Build a firm foundation underneath yourself. Be a house that can withstand all.

When you build a house, it is important to have a firm foundation. Those who build on sand are likely to experience their home crumbling to the sea. Those who build on soil that is too hard or that shifts to and fro will have problems as well.

Don’t live your life on the edge. Be sure to build your spiritual house on a firm foundation which is Me. Depend on Me for everything. Read My Word. Spend time in prayer. Love Me with all your heart and soul. Base all that you do on Me. Then your house will stand when storms come. I will be your shelter when you build your life upon Me.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts 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.

— Matthew 7:24-25

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

— 1 Corinthians 3:11
