“But the Master, God, has something to say to this: “Watch closely. I’m laying a foundation in Zion, a solid granite foundation, squared and true. And this is the meaning of the stone: a trusting life won’t topple.” (Isaiah 28:16, The Message)
To a nation that was far from being faithful, God has a message: "A trusting life won't topple." We take this to mean that if the people would trust their God, then they would be as solid and level as a granite cornerstone, laid at the very foundation of a building, set solidly, not able to be upset by nature or the weather or the passing of time.
What was spoken to the nation of Israel is as true for individuals as it was for them as God's covenant people. Despite life events that tend to upend us, if our trust is in the Lord, then we won't topple. We will remain solid in the storm, but we must trust.
