Today as I was putting together a basket for a family of 7 that lost everything to a house fire, my heart was so heavy for them.
It is only natural for us humans to be sentimental of our earthly homes and possessions.
Number 1: We work hard for them.
Number 2: They are tangible to us.
We can see, touch, hear, taste and smell them.
We all have true sentiment about our homes especially because they are our earthly refuge, they are our family dwellings, we have and raise our children there, and we store number upon number of memories from them.
It is hard enough to move from a home that you've raised your family in, but I can't imagine the devastation of just losing everything. I praise God that our memories can never be taken from us.
So as I was packing the basket it occurred to me that everything on this planet decays. Everything...
But even death itself, though he was in human flesh, could not "decay" Christ as it does our bodies.
Ephesians 2:20 " built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the CORNERSTONE is Christ Jesus, Himself."
We have an indestructible home in Christ.
He IS the cornerstone and No one, No thing, No circumstance, No action can cause that home to decay or crumble.
My prayer for that precious family and you today, is for you're foundation be set upon Christ as your cornerstone. I ask you LORD to remind us all that you are our home, our refuge and our safety. I pray for your comfort and peace to be with us and that sweet family especially in times such as this. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
