The Beautiful and Amazing Foundation of Our LIves

UV 4250/10000 The Beautiful and Amazing Foundation And how will they preach unless they are commissioned and sent (for that purpose)? Just as it is written and forever remains written, “ HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” Romans 10 v 15 This morning as I walked to a nearby waterfall, the above rhema verse, uni-verse came to my soul. Paul, writing to the Romans, recalls this psalm. Then as I sat on a huge tree root under the beautiful waterfall that was soothingly massaging my feet, I recalled this verse and the Holy Spirit revealed that it was not our feet of flesh and blood that the Word is referring to but our godly foundations. The foundation of our wisdom is the fear of God and the foundation of our lives is the love of God and love for the Lord. All humans have feet of clay but it is our faith in the Lord Jesus that is the foundation of our lives that make it beautiful. All above is ugly but our faith foundations, our feet that enable us to stand, to walk, to work, to move, transforms our lives into something beautiful. It prepares us to hear, receive, share good news of good things, chiefly the agape love of God manifested in Christ. We are to diligently build on the beautiful foundation the Lord has laid in our lives. We are to build not with hay or materials that are easily destroyed but with what is good, true, wise, noble, useful, beneficial to others. Then, our lives will not resemble the beautiful statue interpreted by Daniel to symbolize all of human kind and all of human history that was destroyed even though everything above the feet was strong, beautiful, amazing as the weaknesses represented by the feet of clay gave way to the stumbling stone, the rock that was not cut with human hands- Jesus Christ. But to us who believe in Him and live in Him, live by His word, He is the beautiful, enduring foundation of our lives. On Him as the cornerstone, the foundation, we build the superstructure of our lives. Our rock foundation is dynamic, not static like the foundation of a building. It is like the roots of a tree planted by streams of water, like our feet ever moving. Both our coming and going, our staying and building are all blessed by it. It gives us strength to withstand the torrents of storms and the currents of moving streams. Unlike the feet of a human or the foundation of a building, our spiritual foundation being the most beautiful part of our anatomy, our lives, are not hidden like the roots of a tree but visible and ever manifest in a variety of ways in our lives.
