S – therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
Isaiah 28:16 ESV
O – Commentary:
The Lord himself is the reliable foundation stone in Jerusalem (Hebrew in Zion), a precious cornerstone of the true city of God. There would be real hope in Jerusalem if the leaders and the people would only turn to him. If they would trust in God, they would be secure in the most terrible storm or the most devastating earthquake
New Living Translation Study Bible (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2008), Is 28:16.
A – The cornerstone is part of the foundation that is important to the strength and support of the rest of the building. Jesus is the foundation and part of the building of God’s people. He was tested as a man and victorious over death while remaining to be God.
R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you today. Thank you for Jesus who is foundational to our relationship with you. He is our Savior and cornerstone today.
