October 8: Ezra 9-10; Psalm 131; Luke 21

Scripture: Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Observation: Great faith is placed in the earth. Huge buildings have been built with foundations that go down to what is called bedrock. Around those buildings are other buildings, all crowded together and towering above the streets laid out like ribbons between boxes.

Jesus plainly tells us that the earth is not a permanent foundation. Pictures we have seen of earthquake and tsunami damage prove the fragile status of this planet.

Application: How blest I am to have a sure foundation! Jesus has provided me a foundation more permanent than the earth. For a building, the earth is the only foundation we have available—it will have to do; but for my life I want something proven, permanent, and eternal. Why would I choose anything other than God’s Word as the foundation for my life!

Prayer: Lord, help me build a life that is appropriate for the great foundation you have provided! Amen.
