Firm Foundation

"Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great." - Psalm 18:5

"By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee." - Psalm 71:6

"Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." -Romans 14:4

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." -2 Corinthians 12:9-10

I understand these verses so much better! His strength is made perfect in my huge and multiple weaknesses, and I finally know how firm this Foundation really is! It is unmovable; He will not let me fall into the hands of the Enemy. If I am put in the fire, so to speak, continually for the rest of my days, I will not be consumed for the Lord is with me and He cannot be consumed... He isn't combustable. LOL! It is a great day to know Him and be known by Him.

May you too know the Lord's strength and power in your life, and may you enjoy Him all the more!

  2. Aww, thanks Cait! I so appreciate the prayers! These are exciting days, you just never know how the Lord is going to work. :-) Jenn said something to me the other day, and I love it. She said "God didn't promise us that life would be easy, in fact He said it wouldn't be easy... BUT at least we know it will not be boring!" Amen to that! I would rather have difficulties than to be bored any day of the week, especially since the Lord is with us! LOL! Love you, Babe!
