Peace on Earth – Day 5: What Foundation Are You Building On?

2025-12-04

Today’s Gospel (Matthew 7:21–27) challenges us to look at the foundation our lives are built upon.

What specific struggle in your life feels unstable, shaky, or overwhelming?

Whether it’s finances, relationships, communication, self-worth, time management, or just the daily battle to get out of bed — that place of struggle is often the place where we have not yet fully allowed ourselves to be found by Christ.

To build your foundation on rock means to let Jesus into that exact struggle and say:

“Lord, find me. I’m here. I invite You in.”

When we stop trying to control everything and let ourselves be found, Jesus brings stability, strength, peace, and joy.

Take a moment today to name just one place in your life where you feel weak or overwhelmed, and invite Jesus to meet you there.

If you know someone who is struggling or feels lost, consider sending this reflection to them today. We all need to be found by God.

Peace on Earth, and Happy Advent.
