FOUNDATIONS!

Where is your foundation set?

"Whose builder and maker is the Lord"

When I speak about foundations I mean just that. Where is your foundation set? 

When you are building a house you need to pour a good foundation with no cracks, and fissures so that moisture and corrosion can't set in, then it needs to be smoothed and compacted so that all the air pockets are taken out and it becomes solid and unmovable, and once this is properly laid you can begin to build upon it.  If its crooked or slanted then what is built on it will be crooked or slanted and if its properly laid out, level and solid what is built will be level.  And even if what is built is not level it can be taken down but the foundation will still remain.    Don't forget you also need the right ground to build on.  If you build on sand then eventually your building will list to the side or even come down in strong winds because sand shifts and moves and is not a stabilising force.

So I ask again where is your foundation set? What is your stabilising force?  Is it based on old ideas, old feelings of bitterness, hatred, anger, pride and hurt etc or is it set on God who is the author and finisher of your fate?  I submit to you that until all the negative past junk and injustices have been removed and your foundation cleaned and resealed you will never have the peace, contentment and freedom that you are seeking and longing for. 

He is the only stabilising force.  He alone knows exactly whats in your heart and mind and He is the only one that can tear down the walls on which your crooked house is built, to clean and compact your foundation so that it is solid and immovable and can stand against every storm and challenge that comes along.

Set your sights on this foundation "whose builder and maker is the Lord".  This is a more firmer foundation than any other than you have found, not your job or family, or friends, or hobbies or whatever other pursuits you have. They cannot give you the surety of freedom, peace, joy, contentment and the list goes on.

As a matter of fact your family, friends and job will benefit once He has fixed your foundation and stabilised you.

So I say lets give him the go ahead to tear down the crooked houses and break down the walls and barriers that we have erected and let him lead us through the process of re fixing, resetting and resealing our foundations to the place of liberty.  And once the foundation is set then you can begin to build again.

Can He fix it?  YES HE CAN!!
