Pillars That Hold Up Nothing

People actually have pillars in their life like that; pillars that they're depending on to support them. Tragically, we've all had the experience of one of our pillars taking a hit and that's when we found out that, although it looked like something or someone we could depend on, it couldn't really hold up anything.

For some of us, our pillar is a person, our parents, our children, our husband or wife, a good friend, a boyfriend or a girlfriend. For others, the pillar that supports them is their own intelligence, their self-reliance, their looks, their talent, their skill. Your position may be your pillar, or your financial resources, maybe your prestige, your popularity. But all those pillars have one fatal flaw. They're all something or someone that you can lose. Which means you can never really be secure, never really safe, because one unexpected disaster can knock your pillar down. Most of our life-pillars can honestly be gone in a moment - except one.

The pillar you've been depending on will ultimately not be there to support you. Jesus, though, will never leave you, never hurt you, and never let you down.
