Strong foundation

Anyone who listens to my teaching & follows is wise, like a person who builds a house on a solid rock. ( Matt. 7:24 NLT)

My son & I were talking this week about the importance of a strong foundation. This applies to anything in life. Sometimes we try to skip past the foundation part to what we think is the more exciting part.  However, if we ignore the foundation, everything else crumbles.  We have nothing to help us stand strong when the winds blow & the waters rise.  We start that foundation by getting into Gods word, talking with Him daily, & fellowship with other believers. Those of us who are parents, it is also our responsibility to help give our kids that strong foundation as well.  If we don't we will find ourselves wondering one day why they have drifted away from God & have fallen into the pitfalls that are out there for our kids. We talk about problems in the world, maybe it's because we have gotten away from the strong Foundation.  It's not too late. Go back & rebuild if necessary.  Jesus Christ is the solid foundation.  Invite Him into your life, ask Him for forgiveness of you're sins,& make Him your foundation. Then allow Him to build the life He has for you on top of that foundation!
