Built on a Sure Foundation

“We should build our lives on faith and invest our time and talents in the things that will outlast our lives here on earth” - Wesleyne

Isaiah 28:16:

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away.

This verse brings forth the divine assurance given by God, evoking a picture of a strong and unshakeable foundation, symbolized through the “tested stone,” and “precious cornerstone.” Often interpreted as the prophetic representation of Jesus Christ, this cornerstone provides a dependable base upon which faith can be built and sustained. The spiritual and physical durability of this cornerstone forms a vivid picture of God's unwavering support. Those who place their trust in God - the one who “relies on it” - are promised to stand firm amidst life's storms, not to be “stricken with panic”. 

This message resonates powerfully, offering solace and strength to the believers in challenging times. This verse's beauty lies in its duality - it serves as both a prophecy of the coming Messiah and a timeless assurance of God's enduring reliability. The promise embedded in Isaiah 28:16 presents an image of divine solidity and faithfulness, offering an invitation for us to anchor ourselves in the steadfast love and support of God.
