1 Peter 2:7 “Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone’.”
Lord, I understand that when building a building of most kinds, there needs to be a starting stone. It must be perfect in height, length, and depth, perfectly square, a stone with no defects, or the whole building will be off “plumb”. You are that perfect cornerstone on which Your church is built, but the builders, the Jews and all who do not believe, reject You. They miss Your perfection.
How precious You are to me though, Lord, and to all other believers. You are the most holy and pure, righteous and just capstone on which we are to build our spiritual building. Building our faith on You will mean that it will always be true to plumb and will be a perfectly square life; a life worthy of being called a spiritual building for Your glory!
Lord, there are a lot of lopsided and defective stones on which people are choosing to build their lives: pride, power, wealth, prestige, popularity, and ego. It is so sad, and they need to know that their building will not stand in the day of trouble. You, Lord, are the only Stone for me!
