Soooo, I've been thinking about FOUNDATION'S lately...What with this crazy weather we've been having. The Tornado's and the Floods. It has been amazing to see the homes covered by water or completely gone from the winds. I started wondering how it is in our lives...where does our foundation lay? This life is filled with unknown moments and unexpected events. Jesus is talking about this in Matthew, Chapter 7:


The Wise and Foolish Builders

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. The 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. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Matthew 7:24-29

Just before this passage, Jesus had been talking about the "Narrow and the Wide gate" and about how our lives should bear fruit if we are rooted in Him. So I write this with hope, because even though we do not know what tomorrow holds, Jesus does and the Bible tells us that He has overcome this crazy world in which we live....so lets lift up our heads, fix our eyes on Jesus and lay our foundation in the strength of our Savior!
