Isaiah 28:16-29

In this study we look at the fact that Jesus Christ is our sure foundation. A true Christian life is built solidly upon Jesus Christ and His word. There is no other foundation.Not only is Jesus our sure foundation, but He also gives us clear instruction as to how we are to build our lives, ministries and His church. Everything built on Jesus must be built in righteousness and justice. There is no room for political alliances, false gods, lies or falsehoods in building a work of God. All that is built on Jesus Christ must be built in accordance with His word. There is no other way to build a work of God.Also, we looked at the need to listen, to heed, to hear God's word and then to respond in total obedience to His Word. There is no other acceptable response for a true follower of Jesus Christ.Lastly, we need to realized that God works in our lives like a farmer works his soil, plants his seeds and gathers in His harvest. God is the Master Farmer. God runs His divine plow through our lives in order to prepare our lives for the great things He intends to do in us and through us for His glory.For a follower of Jesus to be greatly used by God, they must first be greatly broken by God. There is no other way.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?

25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?

26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
