Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 24 Jan 2008

Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. v15. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. If Righteousness and justice are the foundation of God, then what is the foundation of our own throne? I hope today, each one of us can say that the foundation of our lives is based upon the foundations of God. Love and faithfulness go before you. Do we put love and faithfulness before us? Imagine what our lives would be like if we were able to put love and faithfulness before us in everything we do. Honestly, if we did, people would not get angry so easily, we would not be so rude, and we would be selfless instead of selfish. Today’s word of encouragement is finding out what is the foundation of your life? What is it built upon? If it is built upon God’s foundations it is obvious and it can be seen through your life and actions. However, if your foundations are built upon anything other than God we have got to let go and rebuild our foundations on God. Friendships, relationships, wealth, material gain, etc. Don’t make an excuse to prove that those are not your foundations. If we are trying to make an excuse to prove to ourselves that we have been built on the right foundations, we aren’t fooling anybody but ourselves. I hope that we never stop learning and submitting to God, because in v15 it says, “Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.” I hope we would desire to walk in the presence of God. © Jan 2008 Shaun Lee
