JESUS as the FOUNDATION of Our Life, Home, and Work

 

Psalm 18:2

King James Version

2 The Lord is my rock, 

and my fortress, and my deliverer; 

my God, my strength, 

in whom I will trust; 

my buckler, 

and the horn of my salvation, 

and my high tower.

Fifteen months ago, I surrendered my whole life and work to the MASTER Builder -- JESUS.

Material things of the world, and its constant bickering, don't appeal to me at all,.

Only God has control over how anything would turn out.

I prefer building my "house" (my soul, my whole life, my whole work), upon the STRONGEST foundation of all -- JESUS.

He is the Builder, the Rock, and the Foundation.

JESUS is ALL.

These verses testify to the infinite strength, glory, and wisdom of the LORD, upon whom we must all build our lives, homes, and work.

Find permanent STRENGTH in these powerful verses:

Genesis 49:24

King James Version

24 But his bow abode in strength, 

and the arms of his hands were made strong 

by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; 

(from thence is the shepherd, 

the stone of Israel:)

Deuteronomy 32:4

King James Version

4 He is the Rock, 

his work is perfect: 

for all his ways are judgment: 

a God of truth and without iniquity, 

just and right is he.

Psalm 62:5-8

King James Version

5 My soul, 

wait thou only upon God; 

for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: 

he is my defence; 

I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: 

the rock of my strength, 

and my refuge, 

is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; 

ye people, 

pour out your heart before him: 

God is a refuge for us. 

Selah.

Psalm 89:26

King James Version

26 He shall cry unto me, 

Thou art my father, 

my God, 

and the rock of my salvation.

Psalm 118:22

22 The stone which the builders refused 

is become the head stone of the corner.

Matthew 7:24-25

King James Version

24 Therefore whosoever heareth 

these sayings of mine, and doeth them, 

I will liken him unto a wise man, 

which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, 

and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;

and it fell not: 

for it was founded upon a rock.

Matthew 21:42

King James Version

42 Jesus saith unto them, 

Did ye never read in the scriptures, 

The stone which the builders rejected, 

the same is become the head of the corner: 

this is the Lord's doing, 

and it is marvellous in our eyes?

1 Corinthians 3:11

King James Version

11 For other foundation can no man lay 

than that is laid, 

which is Jesus Christ.

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: 

and that Rock was Christ.

Ephesians 2:20-22

King James Version

20 And are built upon the foundation 

of the apostles and prophets, 

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together 

groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together 

for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:6

King James Version

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, 

Behold, 

I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, 

elect, precious: 

and he that believeth on him 

shall not be confounded.

No Quackery Here

 

Here are real DUCK stories.

Even a karaoke song.

I kid you not.

The objective being, to have a bit of play.

The world's too crazy.

We must be like a bunch of happy ducks, catching some sun.

Mask, and all, we take that dip.

So, will entertain you a bit with educational duck lingo, a FREE advertising site, and finally, the cute karaoke song.

They all came together on their own today, so I'm merely sharing with you -- to bring a smile to your face.

1. WORDS.

What do you mean by "ducks in a row"?

Dictionary dot com says it's to "complete one's preparations, become efficient and well organized".

Wow, are you organized?

What do you mean by "sitting duck"?

Merriam-Webster says it's an "easy and defenseless target".

Oh, boy, we better be not be.

What do you mean by "duck"?

Wikipedia gives a good description and definition of the noun.

Used as a verb, "duck" means to "take cover". 

I suppose super heroes can "dodge" bullets, and mere mortals have to "duck" from attacks hurled at our person.

What do you mean by "quack"?

Cambridge Dictionary says it's "to make the usual sound of a duck" or a "person who dishonestly pretends to have medical skills or knowledge". Verb or noun, I chose the noun.

I'm a quack architect, thus, the blog.

2. FREE advertising.

I was waiting for someone to purchase Traffic Ducks*, and today, someone finally did!

Thus, I signed up right away, confirmed my email address, logged in, and put in my ads, thinking to myself I'll promote it on this blog.

Ducks have to stick together, ya see.

For no trouble at all, you receive the following:

-- 1,000 credits

-- 2 solo ads

-- 2 long banners

-- 2 square banners

-- 2 text link ads

-- FREE graphic and online marketing tools

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's online marketing lingo. And if you're curious, you'll sign up under me here.

*I shared this blog post with Traffic Ducks and got a response today, "Your site quacked us up."

No need to apologize admin George, it did me, too.

3. KARAOKE song.

Want to polish up your "counting"?

Or have a kid who needs to?

Or plain just want to have a fun time?

I found myself singing along, mind you.

Methinks I'll keep hearing it in my sleep.
