Who Laid The Corner Stone

Daily Devotions: by Christina Farris

Job 38:1-17 KJV
(1) Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
(2) Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
(3) Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
(4) Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
(5) Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
(6) Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
(7) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
(8) Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
(9) When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
(10) And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
(11) And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
(12) Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
(13) That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
(14) It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
(15) And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
(16) Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
(17) Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

One of the first thing to establish in talking about the cornerstone is who established it. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega the begin and the end. Jesus on the cross said it was finished, those were final words upon his death before his resurrection. Yet for thousand of people it was not finished for they understood not who Jesus was. Who laid the foundation of the deep. It had to be God. God was before and continues on. The cornerstones of the earth were laid by the word of God. Yet the deep was there before the earth. The idea of evil was before the creation of earth. For everything God created God said it was good. The foundation of heaven and earth was created by the word being spoken by God. His Spirit sending forth the Word.

There are places in the sea and ocean that have pockets of fresh water. Average person probably does not know they exist. Yet it something gain with knowledge from life experience, televisions or a book. I wonder how Job knew about it. Then I realize God is speaking of wonders Job may never have seen. With the earth being round one has to wonder about it being built on corner stones. Yet the earth is built more then just on foundation but by the word of God with scientific principals that govern it, by the mandates of God.

Faith is built on the foundation in which God establishes. He establishes all things and for purpose. The sons of God worship God by his decree. Cain and Abel performed sacrifices that were established by God. Yet Cain failed at performing the right sacrifice for God and got cast out of God’s sight. Out of God sight was established by God has well. Eternity beyond heaven and earth where there is no light and only gnashing of teeth.

God established His word to become something including a man named Jesus. Yet Adam was formed/molded and became a man. God formed something on the earth and others things He just spoke the word. The earth having the power to become something from itself by the forming of it, yet it had to be given life by God’s own breath. Not the word but the breath of God. Man became a living soul by the breath of God. Man only by God’s word through foundation of His word becomes born of His Spirit though faith. His word become much more precious then the forming of the earth to create us. A kiln is used when molding clay to set it for life. God’s Spirit puts us through His Word to bake and establish His Word in us. It is the process in which we become born again by His Spirit. Yet His Spirit seals upon the date of belief as God’s child. The foundation established by the writing on our hearts by His Spirit that says he or she is God’s child. The cornerstone laid when we believe God’s eternal plan of salvation of faith in Christ Jesus the word of God. God established the foundation of salvation from the beginning.

Dear Heavenly Father may our Word you established penetrate our heart. Establish your word within our heart so we and others can believe in your salvation plan for mankind. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study for Devotion:

1 Corinthians 3:10-13 KJV
(10) According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
(11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
(12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
(13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
