8) Birthrite: Cornerstone

So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,

    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;

the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic."  Isaiah 28:16

it's a basic need- security.  The idea is that when something is secure, you don't even have to think about it.  In a secure relationship doubts and arguments can come, but they will never do much more than ruffle the hair.  The foundation is secure, and so the storm passes over.  

Jesus comes to provide us the foundation stone on which all things depend.  It is set right at the base, and is set true.  We do not even need to consider it's surety. This is to the extent that we may even take it for granted.  Lets not do that.  We have this paradox.  We are so safe we could abuse this trust.  We choose not to.

PRAYER:  Just as the sun rises in the morning and warms the earth, so your love for me is a precious constant.
