Stop working in the Night

  ⁵ “Master,” Simon answered, “we worked hard all night long and caught nothing.” LUKE 5.

¹⁶Then Jesus told them this parable. “There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops. ¹⁷He began to think to himself, ‘I haven’t anywhere to keep all my crops. What can I do? ¹⁸This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store my corn and all my other goods. ¹⁹Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’ ²⁰But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’” LUKE 12.

What’s the Foundation of your Life? 2

“But the solid foundation that God has laid cannot be shaken; and on it are written these words: ‘The Lord knows those who are his’ and ‘All who say that they belong to the Lord must turn away from wrongdoing’.” 2TIM. 2:19

Save your soul

There is a foundation which God has laid. This foundation cannot be shaken. It will not be shielded from hard-blowing storms. It will not be shielded from storms of lack, betrayal, depression, loneliness, crises, sickness, persecution etc. But it will not be shaken. That’s the foundation we should build our lives upon. The Bible reports that “In the beginning, the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity” (JOHN 1:1, 3&4). In the beginning, God laid this foundation. On this foundation, God built all things, and not one thing in all creation could have been made without him. That foundation is Jesus Christ. There is a song that says “I’m standing on a rock that never fails. Jesus is the rock that never fails.” If we want to withstand the storms that blow hard against us in our marriages, academics, jobs etc, we must build our lives on the rock that never fails.
