My Rock And Refuge

I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Psalm 42:9

In 1174, the Italian architect Bonnano Pisano began work on what would become his most famous project: a separately standing bell tower for the cathedral of the city of Pisa. There was just one “little” problem. Builders quickly discovered that the soil was much softer than they had anticipated, and the foundation was far too shallow to adequately hold the structure! Sure enough, before long the whole structure began to tilt . . . and it continued to tilt . . . until finally the architect and the builders realized that nothing could be done to make the “leaning tower” straight again.

If only the tower had been built on the right foundation. What is the foundation of your life? If it isn’t God, chances are you’re tilting one way or another. Isaiah 33:6 says, “He will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure” (NLT).

Make God the rock and foundation that your life is built upon.
