What have you founded your life upon? What are you really building your life on? Are you building your life on the assumptions and theories of men? Are you quoting the ancient Greek philosophers or are you resting on the Word of God?
I discovered that there are lots of people who could quote by heart what the different philosophers said, one after the other. They live their lives according to these human philosophies. They live on the assumptions of other men who themselves are failures in God’s eyes. Don’t just quote someone because he sounds good; first of all, find out how the person ended up. Many of those philosophers died as failures, so, much of the information we have of them was tainted with the opinions of some other people with suspicious credibility.
The Lord Jesus told His disciples a parable about two builders; one built his house on the rock, the other built on sand. When harsh conditions broke out against the two houses, the one on the rock remained standing but the one on sand collapsed because it had a weak foundation. When everything around you is going down, if you don’t have a sure and firm foundation, you’ll go down too! Your foundation should be God’s Word. “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away” (Mark 13:31). Unlike this world and everything in it, you can bank on the Word, it’ll never change. The Word is eternal; it is the sure and firm foundation! Build your life on the Word and not on human philosophies that change with the times. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14); let Him direct the course of your life today.
