A Foundation For The New Year

Isaiah28:16 "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: he that believeth shall not make haste". It's a new year. It's now a custom for people to start making new year resolutions. And as always they don't do any why? you may ask Because you cannot be a better person by selfeffort but by grace. In our anchor scripture God said he has laid a solid cornerstone, a foundation before us. A foundation in which we can build our lives this year. Jesus is the chief corner stone. Ephesians2:20 "...Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone". This is a foundation in which we are to build our lives on. God gave us a choice whether to build it on this stone or selfeffort. God won't force you to choose christ. He made a promise in Romans 9:33 "As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed". Whoever builds their life on this rock will never be ashame. So if you don't want to see Shame in 2016 build your life on Christ. Many reject this stone but at the end they find out without him they can do nothing. Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?" Many believers worldwide want to experience the glory of God this year. Amen to that. If you must see God glory this year. You must stand on the rock like he told moses. Exodus 33:21 "And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock. 22: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by.23: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen". If you must see God glory in your finances, academics, ministry, business and everything else. You must stand on the rock. You might ask how do I stand on the rock? How do i build my life on christ? You must believe on him for EVERYTHING no matter how little. You must believe in his grace. You build your life on christ by believing on him, you believe in his finished works. You believe he wants the best for you. And expect Good things this year because he will supply his grace. Christ the rock Romans 9:32 "Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone". This is the year of his Grace not your works. Faith is your leg to stand on the rock. The best resolution you can make this year is to believe in christ, believe in his finished works. You must make up your mind and prepare your heart to obey the word of God. To obey the word of God, to love without compromise. And as you are determine to obey God word by his grace. He will make your way prosperous. #Happy New year
