A good life, like a good building, is built on a solid foundation. If the foundation is bad then no matter how great the building, it will be compromised by the bad foundations. The foundation of our life is our relationship with God. If we are in conflict with God then our foundations are compromised (to say the least). A lot of people sense this conflict but try to compensate by building more on top. But the more we build on bad foundations the harder it will fall when the foundations give way. The good news is that, even though we may find ourselves in conflict with God, yet God has taken the initiative to be reconciled to us. He came to us in Jesus Christ, he paid for our guilt in Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross. It seems ludicrous that God should pay when we were the ones who did the wrong thing. It seems like a great injustice against God. And it is. But God said, “I love you so much that I am willing to bear that injustice in order to be reconciled to you”. And now he keeps coming to us in Jesus Christ pleading with us to turn around and be reconciled with God. All we have to do is turn back to God and let him be our God again. This is faith. You don’t have to make amends, you don’t have to prove yourself, you don’t have to win his favour; no, faith is all. The moment you entrust yourself to God the conflict is resolved, there is peace, and your foundation is firm.
Entrust yourself to God again today.
Read Romans 5:6-11
