I Have A
Firm Foundation
by
Barbara Philbrook
I have a
firm foundation I formed it with the Holy Word you see,
and that is an assurance that it will withstand any storm
that comes toward me.
The Bible
is the place where I go when I need to understand,
the Bible is where I learned of God's Salvation Plan.
The Holy
Word is the food on which my spiritual life must feast,
and I must go there daily to be sustained once a day is
the very least.
God sent
his word to the writers by way of his Holy Spirit,
and we grow stronger and stronger the more we hear of it.
Some of
the things in the Bible their meaning to us would seem
rather dim,
without the interpreter whom God sends to reside within.
On the
very day we accept his salvation this new life within us
does start,
as the Holy Spirit takes up residence deep
within our heart.
The
Spirit helps me to comprehend God's Holy Word,
and the Spirit helps me to assimilate God's messages as
they are heard.
I may read
the Word in my Bible or I may hear it as I sit in church,
then God's Spirit brings it forth when I need it never
causing me to lurch.
Yes I have
a strong foundation and you can have the very same as I
do,
the material used to build it is entirely up to you.
God
supplies the materials and is there for us to consult,
but the building is our duty we are responsible for the
result.
You can be
assured there will be storms some of awesome strength,
but I know my foundation will hold no matter the
fierceness or length.
You too
can have this assurance just build your foundation on
God's Holy Word,
why anyone would build with out it seems absolutely
absurd.
Won't you
start on your foundation please start on it today,
the storms will be coming they are probably on their way.
