Cornerstones
(Image created in Bible App)
We always hear that Jesus is our cornerstone, and He most certainly is! He is the rock on which we stand. But did you know, daughter of the Most High God, that you are a cornerstone yourself?
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace (Psalm 144:12 KJV)
A woman of God is a cornerstone, beautiful and strong inside and out. You may be wondering, what exactly is a cornerstone? According to Dictionary.com, a cornerstone is the “chief foundation on which something is constructed or developed.”
Did you know that God can and will readily use you for His glory? He will pour in His kindness, mercy, grace, and love to overflow from you! In order for Him to do this, you must be totally willing to surrender your life to Jesus and be obedient to His Spirit.
Here’s the thing: you can either be used as a foundation for the world and its ever changing standards of morality, truth, and beauty–or you can be a foundation for the One who never changes.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (Deuteronomy 30:19).
We live in a fallen world that is filled with violence, hatred, disease, perversion, and lies. However, as women of God, equipped with the Bible and the Holy Spirit, we can overcome the world just as Jesus has!
Young ladies please meditate over these verses. You have a choice to make. God wants to use you to advance His kingdom and show the world His glory!
There are many things you can be in this world. I choose to be a woman of God–a cornerstone who is beautiful, loving, merciful, humble, gentle, courageous, and kind to all. Who will you choose to be?
