Isaiah 28:16
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
Sometimes, we would rather not have surprises. Such times, we prefer that things fall into place just as we have planned. This word was spoken at a time when Israel was making an alliance with a powerful country for safety. God was reminding them that true safety is in the hand of God.
God himself has laid a stone that is safe. This stone has been tried. Through the sun and rain, this stone has shown its mettle. It can be trusted. It is also a precious stone. You’d love it. Sometimes, items are durable and solid but not beautiful. This stone is precious, clear and costly. It is one that you would like to keep.
To make it more desirable, it is a cornerstone, the Chief Stone on which your life can be built. It is not just any kind of foundation. It is a sure one, an established one. When you trust in this stone, you will not have sad surprises. This reminds me of Romans 8:28 which assures us of all things working out for our good when we fall in line with God’s will for us. We are safe when we trust in Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone.
