Foundation

Do you ever watch those home improvement shows? Sometimes I do and it always amazes me what can happen to a structure when materials are replaced with different or newer materials. I have done flood relief work in the Carolinas after Hurricane Floyd and many times we tore out
walls and foundations in order to save the homes. The homes would not survive after water had damaged the foundation and structure, so it was necessary to rip out and build a new foundation.

It is the same in our lives. If our foundation is based on the world and the beliefs of our culture our lives will be constantly in danger of collapsing. Susan Hunt in her book "True Woman" makes this point as she addresses women on where they are getting their authority.

"The unquestionable authority of God's Word must be our standard (foundation). When we deviate from God's truth, we lose touch with what is real. The slightest deviation from God's truth produces a counterfeit reality that makes us vulnerable to the lure of culture."

If you want to live strong and firm build up your foundation on God's word. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the (woman) of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Tim. 3:16
