“For no one can lay any foundation other than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become obvious. For the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work.” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
The day will come for all of us, if not several days over the course of our lives, when we realize that our current undesirable situation or status in life is a result of our own choices and actions, and we can't blame anyone else. At some point, we need to take responsibility and realize that our view of our purpose in this world has laid a foundation that the rest of our decisions are built upon. That is why the choice to follow God and make His purposes our purposes is the most important decision we will ever make.
Lord, help me to realize that if my life isn't going well, I need to start with me and what I value and help me to avoid blaming anything else.
