What Does 1 Kings 7:10 Mean?
The foundation stones were enormous, some measuring as much as fifteen feet. To move and set such weights required great labor, yet they were chosen for the lowest and least visible part of the work.
A house is only as steady as the stones beneath it. The greatest stones go where they are never seen, bearing the weight of all that rises above. This is the quiet logic of every lasting thing, and of a lasting life: the deepest strength is hidden. The wise build upon a sure foundation, and there is no surer cornerstone than the One the builders later rejected.
