Bailey and I are staying inside this morning because of the on and off rain showers and the cool air. She is now lying asleep on the floor beside me. The fireplace is flaming very low as I have the gas turned down. Watching the small flames as they dance is somewhat mesmerizing to me. Whoever built this house, I am grateful to them for including the fireplace. I dont know about you, but I am not a building contractor or very knowledgeable in the construction of a house. I do know that if you want a well built house, you start with a good foundation. If the foundation is not laid properly, the house will not be level or, when it begins to settle, the foundation will crack. Additionally, the walls in the house will begin to develop crack and the doors will not close without binding. To insure that these do not happen, you start with a good, reputable building contractor who will be responsible for all aspects of building the house, beginning with the foundation. In 2 Chronicles 3, we read about the building of Solomons Temple, complete with measurements and how everything in it was overlaid with gold. Some sources write that the Temple stood for 410 years before being destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. Without a good, strong foundation the Temple could not have stood as long as it did. Then we read the parable about the house built on the sand and the house built on the rock in Matthew 7:24-27. The house built on the rock had a very good, strong foundation and withstood the storm. Jesus said in verse 24, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Jesus is the rock of foundation that we must build our spiritual life upon. If we do that, no storm in our life will be able to tear us down. Please read the prayer list as there is a recent addition of 6 year old Reagan Pruitt and a recent update on 3 year old Sadie Hulsey.
