A Strong Foundation

 

Have you ever had a tragedy in your life?  Not just a bad day, but a real tragedy?  Have you had a loved one pass away suddenly?  Have you lost a job?  Have you had a difficult diagnosis?  Events like these can shake you to your foundation.  But really, what is your foundation built upon?  Jesus reminded us that we should build our life’s house upon a strong foundation.  A foundation of stone, not sand.  Years ago, a friend asked me to help him rebuild his house after a fire.  It was easy to begin the rebuilding process because the foundation was still there.  The wooden superstructure was destroyed, but the concrete foundation was still intact.  If you have a strong foundation, life can bring you tragedies, but you will rebuild.  Hey, see that your foundation is secure.  Make sure that your foundation is Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said in I Corinthians 3:10&11, “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
