According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which was laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward… Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
I Corinthians 3: 10-16
Dear Lord Jesus,
May YOU ALONE be the foundation of my children's hearts, nothing else. As they stand on Your promises, inspire them to live LIFE to the fullest with Your power, and for Your glory. May they not be satisfied with status quo, complacency, or passivity, I pray. Instead, I ask You to give them an urgent unquenching desire to serve You with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Keep them humbly aware that You, O God, live inside of them and that You long to accomplish everything that concerns them. Arise in them and SHINE through them, I pray.
And (Moses) cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. Exodus 15:25
