Praise the Lord and God bless you today.Keep looking up,our redemption draws near! Foundations,that is my subject for today.Psalm 11:3 says," If the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?"It's a very good question put to us by none other than the Holy Spirit! I'm not a building contractor,but I do ...know enough about it that the building is only as good as it's foundation.We hear about many builders in the news of late who,in order to increase their profits,have cut corners in the building process of homes,and now the homes are falling apart and have severe structural problems.All because the foundation was not properly laid,the house will eventually crumble and fall to ruin,all because of it's foundation.Imagine building a house on a sand pit,as you could imagine,it wouldn't last very long.Now,imagine building your house on top of Stone Mountain,here in the Atlanta,Ga. area.That's right,it would last for a very long time.Why?Because of it's foundation! Now let's bring this over to a spiritual inference.Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-29,that a wise man will build his house,his spiritual house,on the Rock.By the same token,those who build their spiritual house on the sand,is to be considered a foolish man.The question we must ask ourselves and then answer with absolute certainty and honesty is:What am I building my house on? In the very beginning of this great nation of ours,the Founding Fathers drew up the Declaration of Independence,declaring our independence from british tyranny and taxation without representation.There were 56 signers of this document,53 of which professed some belief in Almighty God,some were christians and others were not,but all of them had enough God given common sense to know and believe that the United States,as it would later be called,needed a sure foundation,and that foundation was the word of God.This is something that we are seriously lacking in America today,from the Whitehouse to the Statehouse.If the foundation of America is destroyed by ungodly men and women in powerful positions,who want to remove all mention of righteousness and God,then our fall will be great and it will be felt around the world.Many of the laws we have in this great nation were and are provided to us by the scriptures. All that is needed for evil to be victorious in America,and in our own lives for that matter,is to stand by and do nothing.Our foundation as a nation and our own personal lives must be the word of Almighty God.Nothing,absolutely nothing else,will work!If we build our lives on the broken promises of politicians from both parties,what kind of house will America turn out to be?If we build our personal lives on anything but faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,then we are fools of the highest nature.Our houses will fall and the fall will be devastating.If you are not saved,and you are reading this post,consider this:Are you trusting in yourself,your church,your government,your family heritage,your bank account,your job etc. etc.,are you trusting these things?If you are,you are building your house on quicksand.Eventually it will fall,and it's fall will be great.Come to Jesus,accept Him today before it's too late,anyone with eyes can see that it's quickly coming to a head,and it won't last much longer.Turn to Him in repentance and Faith and He will save you! For those who are reading this and are saved,please,please pray for America and our leadership,they need it desperately.May God richly bless each and everyone of you....Thank you...........JW
