3 Foundations

“Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.” Matthew 7:24

Not all homes sit on the same type of foundation, just like not all of us stand on the same foundations spiritually. Although we should we don’t. Some of us place a solid foundation underneath us, some of us place a blocked foundation, and some of us place the pier and beam foundation underneath us-spiritually speaking. Here is what the solid foundation looks like

The Solid Foundation
Christ, Christ, Christ,   Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ,   Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ Christ ,Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ

When one stands on the solid foundation they are placing their footing in Christ Jesus. Every step is grounded in Him and in His word.  So when the storms come crashing in, they will be protected. They are able to find joy, peace, and can persevere through each storm. Those who stand on the solid foundation are those who LISTEN AND OBEY the word of God, just as our verse describes.  “Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse, because it is built on rock.” Matthew 7:25

Prayer: Lord we have all been hit by the storms of life, some stronger than others, and I pray today Lord that those who are enduring a storm right now will bury their feet in You, be filled with peace, as they rest in the promises of Your word. Amen
