In architecture, the
higher you want to build a house, the deeper the foundation has to be. The
great buildings we see all over the world, were not built in a hurry or
carelessly. The Lord Jesus highlights this same principle in Matthew 7:24-25,
which states thus;
“Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise
man, which buildeth his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for
it was founded upon a rock.”
The foundation of a
man’s life, determines how successful he will be in life. This simple, yet
powerful principle, underscores the importance of the right foundation for the
structure you want to build. It is applicable to whatever you want to build in
life; it may be your career, business, finances, family and relationships.
The reason for the
problem inherent in some people’s lives is the absence of a deep and firm
foundation; and that is the Word of God. Paul said, “For other foundation can
no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). And
Jesus is the tabernacle of the Word of God in flesh.
Build a solid
foundation for your life with the Word of God. Take time to meditate on the
Word. Don’t speed-read your bible. Let the Word soak in your spirit. And use it
to imbibe godly habits into your character. As you do this, you drive your
roots deeper in God, and no amount of trials in the world can shake you because
you are built on a firm foundation.
