Verse of the Week

Have you noticed how life's storms have a way of revealing what we're built on? This verse resonated deeply with me this week.

My neighbor lost her job unexpectedly, but instead of panic, I witnessed remarkable peace. "I've built my life on something secure," she told me over coffee.

Jesus wasn't offering a nice theory here—He was giving us the blueprint for unshakable living. When everything feels uncertain, our foundation matters most.

What area of your life needs to be shifted from sand to rock right now?

A Quick Reflection

Standing firm isn't about never feeling afraid—it's about knowing where to plant your feet when you do.

I felt that earthquake of worry yesterday about a health concern, but instead of spiraling, I returned to God's promises.

The worry didn't magically disappear, but I found solid ground beneath it.

Try it: When anxiety hits, ask yourself, "What truth from God can I stand on right now?" Then put your full weight on it.

Your Grace Note

Here's a practical tip: Create a "Foundation Verses" list in your phone's notes app.

Start with Matthew 7:24-25 and add others that help you stand firm when life shakes.

When storms come (and they will), you'll have your reinforcements ready.
