Hebrews 11:10, “For he looked forward to the city that has foundations,
whose architect and builder is God.”
Foundation
A fresh calendar, a new slate is often how we anticipate a
new year or month, week or sometimes even a free day, and yet there also lingers
the undone from yesterday and conflicting emotions.
Are we running ahead with anticipation or running away? Standing on tiptoe to seek God’s
vision, or burying our heads under staggering concerns.
Abraham dwelt in a tent and dreamed of God’s city. Some
might think it only as a myth, a fairy tale, or an exaggerated sense of
imagination, yet he knew the architect personally and already had been the
recipient of God’s grace. So the disconnect between daily life on desert
plains, sandstorms, and unfamiliar routes, and his long-term destination were
not incompatible, not an emotional escape.
Every day he stood on that farseeing hope for guidance,
choices and purpose. Was it easier then to see his horizon without the time
clock frenzy that interrupts our ability to pause and dream and wonder with
awe?
Lord, please set each of us firmly on the path You choose
for us to journey and give us hearts to live into Your vision. No matter how
difficult a day may become, keep our faith fixed on Your foundations as we
build our lives with Your words.
Your thoughts,
