I Corinthians 3:9-14

“For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.”

We’re lacking within us but so often we don’t know. There are many Christians in this world, but no everyone build their foundation with gold. Are we willing to invest our time and energy into the Word of God? What is building our Christian life foundation? So many people seem ok on the appearance, but when they don’t really study the Word of God, slowly all these will be revealed.

When we face temptations and trials, our foundation in Christ will be revealed. Are we firmly rooted in the Word of God? Not only the Word of God is our foundation, but also our nutrient for our everyday life.

Matthew 4:4 says, “Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” And I Peter 2:2 says, “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.” We need to long for the Word of God, like how baby asking for milk, so we can grow into maturity, and be saved.

We are no longer in the elementary level, but we are to grow into maturity. Do not think that we are ok like this, people can see if our lives are mature, and God knows what’s really feeding our lives. Let us spend more time in the Word of God, let it become our food and nutrient everyday.
