2Timothy 2:19. “Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure. Having this seal, ‘THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS….” HE KNOWS. “He knows…” What a powerful statement this is! “He knows…” This eliminates any subterfuge! “He knows…” The implication is that in spite of what I may try to portray, the real is in clear view. “He knows…” no matter what others may think or say. “He knows…” no matter how I feel at the moment. “He knows…” so no manipulation will change what is. “He knows…” everything from the beginning to the end. “He knows…” so there is no point in trying to hide anything. “He knows…” even when others may misunderstand, complain or criticize. “He knows…” the motive behind the action. “He knows…” the reason for this mistake, the guilt, or the failure. “He knows…” and so I can be free to live with a clear sky or cloudy. “He knows…” even when I can’t explain it right “He knows…” what I mean before I say it. “He knows…” I am His, and He is mine – and loves me anyway!
The foundation is there: unmovable, unshakeable, unassailable, reliable, undeniable, indissoluble, knowable, honorable – THE FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE!
“Father, the Builder and Maker of the Promised City Abraham looked for: I am thankful that I, too, will be able to live with assurance forever in such a place that has such a Foundation. And I am thankful that the truths life is built on for those who love Thee, are solid, unchanging and inspiring. Divine Building Inspector, it never ceases to amaze me that Thou dost know every stone that is built on that foundation and every one fits in the place of Thy intention. Every chip off the block, every hammer blow, every chisel mark bears the impression that the One who formed it to fit knew what He was doing. The shape, the place, the stones next to it are all done right because Thou knowest each one, and the foundation is as solid as Thine impeccable integrity. Amen.”
