Feb 12 - Ephesians 2:20

You are built upon the foundation

of the apostles and prophets

Ephesians 2:20

What kind of building would you call your faith?

Would it be a house of bricks, a home of sticks, or a hut made out of straw?

Indeed, when the harsher winds of life blow -- with the same bad breath as the big bad wolf -- how solidly are you standing?

Paul tells us that our foundation ought to be the apostles and prophets.

And how can we literally hear the voice of the prophets a few thousand years since they last drew earthly breath? That's easy. We can hear Micah and Matthew, Jeremiah and Peter, Isaiah and Paul, every time we open the scriptures.

Our spiritual house is made more and more solid with mortar and brick each time we open God's word and when we make -- as the verse continues -- "Christ Jesus himself [our] cornerstone."

In Christ's Love, 

a mighty fortress
