our Foundation

Most Holy God,

I love You. Thank You that You are our very firm Foundation.

In Moses' song (Deuteronomy 31:30-32:47) to You he announces, “the name of the Lord. Praise God because He is great! He is like a rock. What He does is perfect. He is always fair, He is a faithful God who does no wrong. He is right and fair” (Deuteronomy 32:3-4 International Children's Bible).

Thank You that You are strong and mighty. Unchanging. Rocklike. Perfect. The Life Recovery Bible footnote says, “Moses takes time to praise God for who He is – glorious, strong, perfect, just and fair, faithful, upright.”

It goes on in affirming, “We also need to take time to rejoice in who God is and praise Him for His greatness. He is the Rock – our foundation for a stable life. His work in our life is perfect. We need to recognize God's ability to help us and then allow Him to do His mighty work on our behalf.”

Thank You Father. Thank You for teaching me through these years the importance of trusting You to be the great and glorious God You are. We can do well none of this life stuff on our own. You are indeed “our Foundation for a stable life”.

Thank You for loving us as only You can do. Jesus told His followers, “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on” (Matthew 7:24 The Message).

Continue Your work in making us “like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock” (v. 25a). We long to stay fixed on You, our firm foundation that never moves.

Thank You Father. Use me this day. Exactly as You wish. I love You. Amen.
