When you think about what is being said here, it gives a lot of hope. We all know that things happen in this world. We get a random phone call that someone has died, or we get devastating news that someone we love has cancer. All of us at one point will get this call. I know that for me, when my mom called saying she had cancer, it really seemed surreal. I really felt as though my world was falling apart cause I loved my mom so much. But what is so encouraging to know is that our God is our foundation. He is our house, or strong tower. Just like He says here, "we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." In Him alone we are to build our house and our lives. Things happen, and our "earthly" lives can get ripped from us, but where we dwell will determine how we live. So Good!!!
