Tues Devo: What to stand on

Luke 6:47-49 “Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”(NASB)

Hello,

As I look around at people and society, I see people grasping for something to hold onto or stand for. We are quick to run to the newest cause. We sink our time, energy and resources into things which are not tied down to an eternal foundation. As you make a stand – what is that stand really for? Is it just because it sounds good and nice? Is it something that at quick glance feels friendly or tough to argue against?
These things look/sound good – but they are not enough. That which we choose to stand on/for needs to be connected and part of the foundation for everything else. That foundation is the Word of God, and acting on those commands. So, before you stand up for something, regardless of how things sound or feel – check if it is part of His foundation. Those things are eternal – and worth standing for/on.

Have a blessed day,
