The Work Of Each Builder

Will Become Visible

According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw – the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. If what has been built on the foundation survives, the builder will receive a reward. If the work is burned up, the builder will suffer loss; the builder will be saved, but only as through fire.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

Are you feeling apprehension about events in your life? Maybe it seems as if you are surrounded by the open waters or your job, your financial security, your relationship with your family, or your health. Maybe you just can’t put your life in order. Maybe you feel as if you are drowning in a sea of trials and trouble.

Find a fellow Christian or two who can come beside you and hold you up, pray for you, talk with you, and remind you that you are not alone. Then rest your feet on the only solid foundation in life: Jesus Christ.

Life’s trouble’s are too tough to take on alone. Get some help and find in Jesus a place to stand.

Build your life on the solid foundation – Jesus Christ.
