I have a hard time falling asleep at night. It is typically a time where my brain runs wild and refuses to allow sleep to take over. The past couple of nights, I have been listening to my Bible app to help calm my mind and heart. It is incredible what simply listening to the Word of God does for my soul.
One of the verses that jumped out to me as I listened was Psalm 18:31-
“For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God.”
As an extrovert, over-achiever and perfectionist, I often find that I am attempting to be my own rock. For others, it may be their friends, family, identity, social media following or career status. We run to so many “rocks” in an attempt to find stability in our chaos, but always are left uneasy or more anxious.
We have heard the story of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7- the ones who build their lives on the sand or rock.
Storms come. That is inevitable. What you choose to build your life upon will completely determine how you weather the storms.
Are you building a foundation on a social media following, a relationship status, a college acceptance, a number on the scale? Or are you going to start today to build your foundation on the Solid Rock- “Only our God.”
