A Sure Foundation


Last year a lovely two story home was built facing the river near the bridge. It was well back from the river, but the river is at an all time high now. I am hoping that the home was built on a solid foundation. A good foundation is very important but so many have nothing to stand on.

Job 22:15  Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? 
Job 22:16  Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: 
Job 22:17  Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? 



  A lot of water is pouring out of Shasta Dam and the river us running fast and wide. My foundation is God Almighty, who made all from nothing and who is everlasting.

Psa 102:25  Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 
Psa 102:26  They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 
Psa 102:27  But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. 


There is a rock facade, that is facing the river water. Like this home, we must have more than an appearance of a solid foundation, it is the hidden foundation that matters.

Luk 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 
Luk 6:47  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 
Luk 6:48  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 
Luk 6:49  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. 




Unexpectedly the home is put to the test as the river waters wash away everything that is not on a good foundation.

1Co 3:10  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 
1Co 3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 


I pray that the home will be undamaged by the river of adversity. When the river of adversity surrounds us, we too will be tested as to our foundation. Jesus is my foundation.

Eph 2:18  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 
Eph 2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 
Eph 2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 
Eph 2:21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 
Eph 2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
