"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation...Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure...For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
The saintly expositor Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, "When things seem shaky and unsure in the Christian's life, he or she, needs to always come back to their Foundation.” Jesus told the now well-known children's Bible story of the two men who build their houses, one on sand the other on a rock. Both went through the terrible storm, but only the one whose foundation was a rock stood. C.S. Lewis said, "There are lots of nice things you can do with sand; but do not try building a house on it."
O child of God, be assured of this truth: the devil may huff and puff but he will never be able to tear down what you have built upon the Rock, Jesus Christ! The rains may be in torrents, the winds a deafening sound, and all around you crumblings of manmade edifices to the ground, but our blessed Lord said these things cannot shake our superstructure. Therefore when the tempest comes lustily sing, "On Christ the solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand."
