Summer is but a memory as the fall settles upon us with its longer night's and stormy weather. Can winter be far behind? This is the time of year when high winds and heavy rains bring blackouts and floods. At sea sailors endure the power of nature as their boat's are tossed by high waves threatening the safety of their vessel's, and also their lives. Battered by storms, mariners eagerly scan the horizon for the comforting beam of a lighthouse; the beacon that guides to safety. So it is with you and I when we find ourselves assailed by the storms of life. There is a spiritual lighthouse; a beacon that we can rely on to prevent our lives breaking up on the destructive rocks of life.
God's Word is a beacon that guides those who seek eternal truth, it is a solid rock on which to build our lives. An example of this is found in Matthew 7:24-27 where Jesus said: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." A wise person seeks and follows Jesus, who is The Only Firm Foundation.
Today, let us thank The Lord for His Word.
