Well Built Life

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Luke 6:47-48 "As for everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built." 
 
The foundation of a well built life is the Lord Jesus Christ. All other starting points are only shifting sands of security, but Jesus is a secure rock of salvation. So, wise life builders begin with faith in Jesus, the son of God and their Savior. Once this foundation of faith is laid, then the structure of wisdom can be erected. Yes, Almighty God is the architect of a life submitted to Him. His design is elegant and eternal. What the Lord builds no one or nothing can shake!

Obedience to God is a lifetime process of growing in grace, humility and love. Tests of faith will come and go, but the loving care of Jesus stands with us in everything we experience, good or bad . He is dependable in keeping us from becoming desperate in economic downturns. In success our Spirit filled life gives Him the glory.
 
Keep Christ as your Master Building Contractor, with the construction materials provided by Him. Talk over with Him in prayer the very real punch list of your concerns. He will never disappoint you. Your life is beautiful with its floors of forgiveness, walls of gratitude, windows of love and roof of grace. Your well built life will withstand any shaky circumstances!
