A Solid Foundation

Categories: Fear, Jesus, Worry

All around us walls are crumbling
Cracks appearing; deepening; widening
In the upper levels of life.

Political unrest and moral decay
Instability, uncertainty increasing day by day
Worry, fear, confusion in currencies
Are pressing in; never far away.

What is causing all this unrest?
Where or who to turn to for the best?

First I need to check on what I am building
For those cracks were not there at the birth of creation.

Constructing on a faulty foundation
The house stands firm while everything’s okay
But which when storms and strong winds come along
The building starts to wobble and sway
Then eventually collapses; crashes down to the ground
So I’m left with devastation all around.

What then is the answer?
What on earth shall I do?

The answer lies with the one who is on the throne
The heavenly throne. He Himself the Living Stone
Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
Chosen long before all of creation
He, in this world, is the only one,
The absolutely certain and sure foundation.
