What makes a solid
foundation for appreciating life? There
are a lot of platforms upon which people anchor their future: finances, family, politics and social causes
just to name a few; but is that really what holds our lives together? The economy can tank, family can move away,
political parties let us down and social fads fade; so if we put too much stock
into them, we are bound to be disappointed.
Now, while there are some unstable principles; there is one thing that
will never let us down – a relationship with God. His principles are perfect and His track
record is spotless. After pointing out
the frailty of man, David, the psalmist, identifies a wise man by noting, “But
his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he
meditates day and night. He
will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither;
and in whatever he does, he prospers.” (Psalm 1:2-3).
I think there is value in
understanding the world in which we live and even investing some of our
attention into outside interests, but let’s never lose the solid foundation
that will never slip. Let’s enjoy life,
but never abandon the one thing that is truly important.
Think About It!
