“I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built.” Luke 6:47-48
In the process of purchasing or building a home one of the first things that should be checked is the foundation. If the foundation is not solid it needs to either be fixed or the house not purchased. As a lender, who once loaned money for purchases of homes, I would first of all, make sure the foundation of the house was solid. The same is true with our faith foundation. Each time we read the word of God we add a brick to our faith foundation. We are to listen and carry out his words within our lives. When we live our faith, the foundation of our faith becomes even stronger. As Luke 6:47-48 points out it is not only important to go to the Lord for wisdom, understanding and teaching but it is also very important that we put his words into action. We must live and use them in our lives. When we do, and over time, they suddenly become real and a part of us. There are always storms of life just on the horizon. But with Jesus we will be fine. With a solid foundation of faith, built upon him, we will be able to withstand anything because we are prepared and not caught off guard. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
