Thought of the Day: Shifting

"But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great." Luke 6:49

There is no shiftier ground upon which to build our lives than that of people's opinion and approval, and yet so many of us (especially me) do it daily.  Rather, our foundation is to be built on Jesus, our "perfect gift from above, coming fown from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." James 1:17

God has no variation or shifting shadow resulting from change.  His approval of us is based only on his approval of his son, Jesus, and He is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

God is no regarder of persons (Acts 10:34), so why should I fear what any man can do to me (Psalm 118:1-9)?
