Build a Solid Foundation

All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock.- Matthew 7:24-25

Build a Solid Foundation

When the storms of life come - and with what's happening in the world today, most of us currently are in one - you need a solid foundation. It's in the storm that you discover what kind of foundation your life is built on. If cracks are appearing in your walls and your life is crumbling, if you short-changed yourself, using shoddy materials and taking shortcuts, if your life is dissolving and disappearing before your eyes, then you need a master architect, a life-designer and coach who can pull you out of the mess you are making of things. You need Jesus!

Get Jesus on board as your project manager and put Him in charge of the renovation or rebuild of your life and let Him take charge and you will be amazed at what he will do. He will take you in whatever condition you are in and immediately start to clean things up and begin to fix what's broken, He will work on that shoddy material just acknowledge those weaknesses and let Him work on them. He will ensure your new foundation is built on the solid bedrock of a relationship with Him.

A pastor of a mega church talked about the early days of his ministry when he prayed for God to increase the size of his congregation. He says, 'After days of silence the Lord finally answered, "Your concerned with building the ministry, but I'm concerned with building the man. Woe to the man, whose ministry becomes bigger than he is!" Since then I've concerned myself more with praying for the minister than the ministry. I'm amazed at who I'm becoming as I put my life daily into his hands. He's changed me - and he's not finished yet! There's so much more that needs to be done. Every day I see more immaturity in me. But what a sharp contrast I am to what I was....and I trust God more than ever.'

So work on your relationship with God. Build the truth's of His word into your life's foundation and when the next storm hits you'll be able to stand.
