Thoughts on Today's Verse...

There is only one foundation on which the Church and the Christian life can be built. That foundation is Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:4-7; Ephesians 2:20). He is the one God sent to save us (John 3:16). He is "the way, the truth, and the life" and the only way to God (John 14:6). The Lord Jesus Christ is the name above all names, at which every knee will bow (Philippians 2:5-11). His is the only name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Let's take time today to honor Jesus as Lord with our hearts, words, and actions. After all, Jesus is the one who laid the foundation for us to have life forever with God!

My Prayer...

Lord Jesus, your name is above every other name that has ever been named. Your glory extends back before creation and will endure after the light from every sun has been extinguished. Your sacrificial love that saved us is humbling and beyond compare. Please receive our heartfelt adoration and praise. To you belong all glory, majesty, power, and grace for what you have done to save us and what you will one day do to bring us home to you and the Father. We praise and thank you! Amen.
