Topic: Building a Foundation on Christ

Memorize: Matthew 7:24 (NIV)

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

Read: Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)

Welcome to another day of exciting discussion. It is essential to build a strong base on Christ as you strive to recover through the divorce process. Jesus used the example of building a house on a rock in Matthew 7:24–27 to teach us a profound lesson about how important it is to have a strong base. Think about two builders: one who works on rocks and one who works on sand. A wise person, who not only hears what Christ says but also does what he says, is like someone who builds on rock. The house stays strong even when storms and winds blow because the base is strong.

When it comes to getting over a divorce, "building on the rock" means being firmly rooted in the teachings and principles of Christ. It means not only hearing His words but also putting them into practice in our daily lives. When we go through hard times in life, like getting divorced, this foundation gives us power, stability, and the ability to bounce back.

Putting your faith in Christ is more than just an intellectual or theoretical exercise; it's a living relationship. That's the main thing. To live by faith requires a deliberate effort. In order to get over a divorce, we need to actively seek advice from God's Word and live our lives in line with His rules. To do this, we need to forgive, love, care, and promise to carry out the task He has given us. We make sure that our reaction to the difficulties of divorce is based on what Christ taught by "building on the rock." This base gives us the strength to handle the spiritual, emotional, and practical parts of recovery with faith, wisdom, and strength. The base can stand up to the storms and give you a stable place to live your life on purpose, even when things are hard.

Along your path to healing from your divorce, let Christ be the rock on which you build your life. Pay attention to what He says, think about it, and then do what He says. By doing this, you'll find the strength and purpose you need to live life on a mission based on Christ's unbreakable foundation.

Key Point:

Establish your foundation in Christ during divorce recovery. As you live a life on mission, build upon the solid rock of His teachings. Today, commit to putting His words into practice.

Prayer:

Lord, be the foundation of my life. Help me build upon Your teachings and withstand the challenges of divorce recovery as I live out the mission You have for me.
