“Have you not read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” (Mark 12:10-11 ESV).

Has Jesus become the cornerstone of your life? Can you look back and see the difference? Can you look back and see a time when Jesus wasn’t your all-in-all, when He was your morning devotions and Sunday church and occasional help when you had troubles?

But, now can you look at your life and see Him in your rising and your lying down, your going out and your coming in, your daily work and your special events, your first reaction and last thought? Has Jesus become the cornerstone of your life, what all else relies on to hold it up?

Do you know that it all falls apart unless the house is built on Jesus Christ? Do you know that He alone holds you up? Do you lean on Him like you know it’s true? Jesus is the Rock and the Rock is the Word. The house built on the rock stands firm through the storm. The builder of the house that stands firm is one who obeys the Word of God.

If Jesus is your rock, your firm foundation, your cornerstone, then you are living according to God’s Word. The Bible is your source of strength, direction, help, and hope. You love, you have faith, you live free from the bondage of sin. And you can look at your life and see how He’s changed you and say, “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in my eyes.”
