“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).

I believe even the righteous at times can “come to” and discover part of his foundation wasn’t what it should have been and has been destroyed.

A good life on a poor foundation is actually no good at all.

The solution isn’t to build poorly.

The solution is to rebuild on a good foundation. The good foundation, that is.

I find myself musing: “Is any part of my life right now on a foundation other than Jesus?”

It is too easy and natural for me to do good and live right in order to please myself. Doing something for recognition and praise is part of pleasing myself. And that’s only one part!

I wonder what kind of rebuilding I may need to do.

“LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear” (Psalm 10:17).

So then why should He hear me?

I’m hardly very humble.

But I want Him to prepare my heart. I want Him to make me humble before Him.

Having said that, I admit to being afraid of being humbled. I’m afraid of being broken, of being brought low.

Very afraid of that. Even though I trust God to be loving and considerate.
