Sure Foundation

 

Isaiah 33:6 - And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 

 

Stability? Yes, stability. 

 

We could use other words to describe it, security, dependability, or permanence.

 

We look for stability everywhere! Some look for it in money, some in possessions, some in power, all these rests on unstable, shifting sands.

 

As Christians we can find help, hope, and comfort in knowing that our Saviour brings stability. He is the sure, firm foundation on which we build.

 

Where does that stability come from? Wisdom and knowledge.

 

Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

 

Proverbs 2:6 - For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 

 

James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 

 

Memorize and meditate on the Word of God, a sure foundation in a troubled world.
