How Firm a Foundation
LSB #728
v. 1: How firm a foundation, O saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He has said
Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
A firm foundation. That’s what we need. When everything around you is changing, shifting, and uncertain, to have a firm place to stand is essential. What’s the opposite? Well, I think of a ship on the sea, being pitched to and fro by the waves. There is no firm place to stand. That’s very difficult! But once you get to shore and place your feet on firm, stable ground, there’s a world of difference. As Christians, we have the firm foundation we need in a world that especially these days seems very uncertain and unstable - the Word of God. Whether we face good days or bad, highs or lows, struggles or joys, no matter what the winds of change blow by us, no matter how much around us shifts, we have the stability of God and His Word. His Word which never changes. His care, His love, His mercy, His forgiveness, and His promises are the most certain thing we have in this world and life. What great comfort that is, to have a God you can count on! Who will be there for you now as He was in the past and will be in the future. Yes, He is the firm foundation we need.
