Abide and build in the Lord.

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. 24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 7Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.

Psalm 1 , Psalm 52:8-9 , Matthew 7:24-25, James 5:7

Let your foundation be the lord your God. May your entire life and what you and your brother build be found within the shadow of the Lord's wings. May all you do be in the presence of the Lord almighty, may it be according to what the Lord Christ has commanded, may you glorify Him and reflect His light upon the world.

The lord is your foundation . So you are a branch, Christ is your vine and the Lord your Gardner. He will water you, care for you, prune you and facilitate your success and in him may you remain for ever and ever — you will bare much fruit, fruit which endures, fruit which pleases Him. Be patient the Lord will supply your every need for you are His and what you build is His, your success is His to give and it will be given according to his timing . Keep your eyes fixed on what matters —Christ and what He requires of you — and everything will be added to you.
