Build My Life

I will build my life upon Your love,

It is a firm foundation.

I will put my trust in You alone,

and I will not be shaken.

Three Key Elements

Love

Foundation

Trust

Foundation

Matthew 7:24-29 (NIV)

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority and not as their teachers of the law.

I Corinthians 3:11 (NIV)

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Christ Jesus.

The Solid Rock (My Hope is Built)

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand.

Trust

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your path.

Five Building Blocks to Trusting God

1. Trials establish trust

James 1:2

Count it all joy when you face trials of many kinds

2. Surrender what you can’t control

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.

3. Wait on God with patience

Isaiah 40:31

They who wait on the Lord

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint.

4. Surround yourself with people who trust God

Proverbs 13:20 

Walk with the wise and you will become wise…

5. Remember what God has already done for you

Psalm 103:2

Let all that I am praise the Lord;

may I never forget the good things He does for me.

Love

Romans 5:8 (NIV)

Here is how God has shown His love for us:

While we were still sinners Christ died for us.

2 Corinthians 12:9a (NIV)

…“My grace is sufficient for you...”
