A Firm Foundation
The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand. Proverbs 12:7
It seems that almost every day we hear of another natural disaster that has struck somewhere in the world. Video shows the devastation to lives and property. I normally don't see one house demolished and one house standing so that I can easily say "Oh, he was the wicked one and look how the righteous house is still standing after the earthquake." Jesus also spoke the parable of building your house upon the rock in Matthew 7:24-27. And the house built upon the rock withstood the rains, floods and wind. Neither description seems to fit the images we see today following the natural disasters that occur.
Paul gives us a hint in1 Cor 6:19 that our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. And Jesus confirmed in John 2:21 that the temple he was referring to was his body. So is your "house" built upon the solid rock? When the storms of life assail you, do you stand firm or crumble at the first sign of attack? David gave us the answer in Psalm 37:39: "But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble."
Are you being assaulted from all sides with challenges of the world? Is your house shaking from the forces against it? If so, call upon the Lord and he will be your "strength in the time of trouble". It is comforting to know that we don't have to face the challenges alone. He will be with us every step of the way! Simply ask.
