Hold my hand
show me the way
I am buried
in this clay
The land was hard
at one time
but foolish me
didn’t give a dime.
Just built my life
it looked nice
water warm
foolish choice.
It washed away
all my plans
now I’m buried
empty hands.
Please show me
how to live my life
I’m burdened here
full of strife.
I need a map
I need His love
I need a Savior
from up Above.
Yet, I don’t know
I need your story
I need your hope
that comes from Glory
You have a rock?
show me the way
I’ll build there
save me today.
I think the very best way to build anything is with a solid foundation. If you have fantastic support, failure is rarely an option. Just like the story of the man who built his house on sand. We can’t expect success if we have nothing to fall back on. It’s futile.
Matthew 7:24-27
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
There are 2 types of people in this world, leaders and supporters. The powerful are designed to direct and guide and their support comes from those that require their direction. The very best leaders are able to rise due to the love and support of the people they guide.
As great leaders go through life they bring people with them. People desire their guidance and because of that they rise with a foundation that cannot be moved. Do you live a life that has a firm foundation? Do you rely on a rock or sand?
As Christians, we are commanded to share the love and guidance of God. Who wouldn’t want to? This relationship I have with my God and Savior is the best thing I have in life. I want to scream it from the highest point so that everyone on Earth can hear:
THIS IS WAY BETTER! I have been where you are, and this is the only option. GOD IS GOOD. His mercy is eternal. This life is better.
Dear Lord, as we all go through our day to day routines, please remind us that we need to have a firm foundation. Trivial life, failure and sin are all around us. If we lose focus on You, please remind us that we have a firm foundation – YOU. Nothing is stronger than you, God, You are our ROCK. Please help us all bring others with us on our journey to eternity with You. Help us be great leaders and be brave and loving enough to share the Love and Safety only YOU can provide. Thank you for our blessings and our powerful reminders to constantly lean on you and love you. Thank you for Salvation and for forgiveness. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
