How is the foundation of your life?
Lets meditate on this passage from Daniel chapter 2.31:
31 “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.32 This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs[c] of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.[d]34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
The image seen in the king's dream is a great lesson for us, let us see what is wrong:
- Head of fine gold
- Chest and arms of silver
- Belly and Thighs of bronze
- Legs of Iron
- Feet of iron and clay
What profit was it to have the head of gold if the feet was of clay?
How does it apply to our life's.
If your foundation is strong then nothing will ever knock you down.
Maybe you conquered so many blessings in your life but if your spiritual life that is the foundation of the faith is weak then you will fall but if it is strong than you will remain firm no matter what you face.
A few things that knocks people down:
Death of a loved one.
Not seeing the results of your prayer or receiving it and becoming relaxed.
To busy.
Doubts and Fears.
Disagreements with people in the church.
The pastor said something you did not like.
Time.
Sin.
Discouragement.
etc...
Maybe you are down right now, have left God and his church because of these or other reasons but the truth is the foundation of your faith was weak, that is why the stones that was thrown at you knocked you down.
What should you do?
This Sunday at the UCKG we will have the rescue Sunday, so you have a opportunity to return to God and get your foundation to be strong.
Tomorrow I will tell you what you need to do to have a strong foundation.
Please leave your comments or requests.
Thanks
God Bless you.
