Where is your foundation?

Sunday night I went with my friend Brittany to Reality LA. Through Tim's message and worship I was radically reminded of the Lord’s provision and faithfulness to be the strength in our weakness and work all things together for good to those who love God.

I have been radically rocked this week! The Lord is breaking me and teaching me a lot at this time. At Reality Tim was teaching out of Hosea 8 and talking about our foundation and what it is found in. Every foundation that we try and build on will fail and crumble. When our foundation is in Christ when the waves come we will be able to stand. It’s cool because the last few weeks the Lord has been reminding me where my foundation is and who I am.

The Lord never promises easy roads and no storms, but He does promise to get us through them. The Lord is teaching me that in the biggest way right now than I have ever experienced.

So while I am honestly hating life, hurting a lot, and feeling like I am going to fall apart at any moment. I know that because my foundation is in the Lord, I will be able to get through it and He has a plan through this storm. The Lord keeps telling me “I got this, I am in control, and I will hold you together. Just keep your eyes fixed on ME.”

There is no where else I can lean and nothing else I can do but lean on Him.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

The study is a must listen too!
