A Firm Foundation

“Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: Whoever believes will not be in haste.’” — Isaiah 28:16 (ESV)

We all stand on something. Whether it’s our careers, relationships, finances, gifts, or even our reputation—every life is built on some kind of foundation. The real question is: What are you standing on?

Isaiah 28:16 paints a clear picture: God Himself has laid a foundation in Zion—a tested, precious, unshakable cornerstone. That cornerstone is Christ. And when He becomes your foundation, what you build can withstand pressure, time, and storm.

Too often we focus on the structure—how things look, how impressive it seems. But without a solid foundation, even the most beautiful structure will eventually crack or collapse. It’s not about appearances—it’s about what’s underneath.

🔑 3 Keys to Building on the Right Foundation

1. Test the Soil Beneath YouWhat are you really trusting in? If it's not Jesus, it's not stable. Examine the root of your confidence.

2. Align with the CornerstoneJesus doesn’t just support your life—He sets the direction. Let His Word align your priorities, values, and choices.

3. Build with the Storm in MindStorms will come. A wise builder doesn’t wait until then to prepare. Build now—through prayer, obedience, and spiritual discipline.

Your foundation determines your future. When Christ is your cornerstone, you’re not just surviving—you’re secure, steady, and set apart. You don’t have to rush, panic, or fall apart when life shifts. You’ve been built on something stronger.

So again—what are you standing on?
