Strong Foundation

More about Strong Foundation

A castle built on a mountain represents strength, power, and protection. When we build our lives on a strong foundation, we too can achieve these qualities.

In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish builders. The wise builder built his house on a rock, while the foolish builder built his house on sand. When the storms came, the house built on the rock withstood the storm, while the house built on sand fell.

Just like the wise builder, when we build our lives on a strong foundation, we can withstand the storms of life. When we put our trust in God and His Word, we have a solid foundation that cannot be shaken.

In Psalm 18:2, David writes, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." When we build our lives on the rock of God's Word and His promises, we are building a castle on a mountain that cannot be moved.

But building a castle on a mountain also requires effort and dedication. We must be intentional about building our lives on a strong foundation. This means spending time in prayer and reading the Bible, seeking wisdom and guidance from God, and surrounding ourselves with people who will encourage and support us in our faith.

So, let us strive to build our lives on a strong foundation, like a castle built on a mountain. Let us put our trust in God and His Word, knowing that when the storms of life come, we can stand firm and unshaken.
