Isaiah 28:16
New Living Translation (NLT)
16 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.
If you're building anything, you need a firm base. Isaiah speaks of a foundation stone, a cornerstone, that will be laid in Zion. This cornerstone is the Messiah, the foundation on whom we build our lives. Is your life built on the flimsy base of your own successes or dreams. Or is it set on a firm foundation (see Psalm 118:22 & 1 Peter 2:8 below).

Psalm 118:22
New Living Translation (NLT)
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.
has now become the cornerstone.
1 Peter 2:7-8
New Living Translation (NLT)
7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”
8 And,has now become the cornerstone.”
“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
the rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.the rock that makes them fall.”
