They are seldom seen, rarely complimented and often ignored, but they are vital to the stability of a building. I'm thinking about foundations. The strength and stability of a building is directly related to the integrity of the foundation. A weak foundation will lead to a weak and dangerous building.
Jesus told a simply story about foundations. He told of one house built upon a foundation of sand and another built upon a foundation of rock. All seemed well until the rains fell. At that point the house built upon the sand came crumbling down. The house built upon the foundation of rock stood strong, unaffected. Was there a point? When Jesus told a story there was always a point.
These two houses represented two kinds of people. Some build their lives upon a foundation that is like sand. It may look good, but when difficulties come their lives crumble. Others build their lives upon a foundation of rock. When the difficulties come they are able to stand strong.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge. Psalm 18:2
