MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS
Jan. 03, 2000 Vol. V Number 01
The first beacon of the Eddy Stone Lighthouse off the coast of Plymouth, England was placed there over two hundred years ago to warn ships of the dangerous reefs. Winstanley, the architect who built it, was so confident of its strength that he had written on the cornerstone, "Blow, O Ye Winds! Rise, O Ocean! Break Forth, Ye Elements and Try My Work!" Those were foolish words, for less than three years later a raging storm destroyed the lighthouse, along with Winstanley and others who were making repairs on it at the time.
Years later John Smeaton, an early leader in civil engineering, rebuilt it. He found a new site and dug deep to the solid rock. He was a sincere Christian, as the cornerstone revealed: "Except the Lord Build the House, They Labor in Vain That Build It." For over ninety years it has stood every test, it was founded on rock!
Do you want the kingdom of heaven now? Then dig deeply and build your life on the foundation of Jesus Christ. What a great way to live in this new millennium.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
