What is your foundation built on? Sand or a Rock!!!

Courageous Beauty

What is your foundation built on? Sand or a Rock!!! Sand is easily manipulated especially near water so if a storm comes the sand will become overtaken. Rocks are solid and can withstand the storms that walking on this journey called life might bring. People, places, things, and or ideas are symbolic of sand can be easily influenced and can cause you to be carried away by the worlds point of view and social standards. The rock is Jesus that came to build more rocks!!! If we stand on him we are standing on the word of God!!! So our foundation must be built on Jesus; He is the word of God and therefore we can by his spirit withstand all the wiles and or tricks, plots, schemes of the devil. Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus tells a story about two men who each built a house 24 ‘I will tell you about a man. He hears my message and he obeys it. Now, this person understands my words. He is like a man who built his house on rock. 25 Then a storm came and brought a lot of water. The water hit the house and strong winds blew hard against that house. But the house did not fall down because the man had built it on rock. 26 Another man hears my message and he does not obey it. He is like a man who built his house on sand. 27 Then a storm came and brought a lot of water. The water hit the house and strong winds blew hard against it. The house fell down. The storm destroyed it completely. 28 Jesus finished speaking. All the people were very surprised about the things that he taught them. 29 Jesus did not teach them in the same way as the teachers of the *Law. Jesus had his own authority when he taught them. Hebrews 11:3,10 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Abraham 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. So in other words we need to allow the Word of God to be our foundation that no matter who brings the storm, what type of storm comes, where the storm hits, why the storm came, and or how it came we can face any obstacle in life because our life is built on a foundation we can't see. When a house is build you can only see the top part of the foundation but usually there are crawl spaces under the house that will allow the foundation to be checked out. Well the Word needs to be so solid in your life that even if you had to crawl into a tight space or backed into a corner that you know that you are on a solid foundation and your house (faith) won't fail and or fall. You see God never promised us that the strong winds wouldn't beat up our house(life) he never said that storms wouldn't happen to and we wouldn't feel like we were going to cave but what he did say is that if we just wait on him he would renew our strength. Isaiah 40:31 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Abram when he was on the journey that God sent him on he looked for a city whose foundations and builder was made by God and sometimes that is a physical place we have to pray and know where to belong; is the job we are at right for us, am I at the right church? We even need to know am I hanging with the right people. God doesn't what people that have the wisdom to build rock houses to be negatively influenced by folks that have built sand houses. In fact... Psalms 1:1-6 KJV 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind dr
