Good Morning!

So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall.  -Matthew 7:24-27

What kind of foundation are we basing our life on? What is the reason or purpose behind what we do every day? If we base our life on Christ and following His lead, we will have a solid foundation. Life will throw you a bunch of curveballs and there will be times when it just seems like there is a lot of animosity against what you are trying to accomplish, but with a foundation on Christ we have that to fall back on, because we are not defined by our failures and accomplishments but by who we are in Christ. When you put your foundation on something that is fleeting it is hard to keep your footing and when you are struggling to keep your footing already any sort of opposition will wipe you out. Is your foundation in Christ who is eternal? Or is your foundation in worldly success, whatever is easiest at the moment, or going through life without any direction?

“Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.”  -Billy Graham

“As followers of Christ, we must remember always to build our defense of the Christian faith on the sure foundation of the Bible. If we do so, there will be no weight too great to be supported; no wind too strong to be resisted.”  -Richard Pratt

Dad Joke of the Day:

How do poets say hello?

“Hey, haven’t we metaphor?”

Have a great Thursday!
