Foundations
Foundations
What are you building your foundation on,
Solid Rock, or quicksand?
A foundation built on solid rock has staying
power, withstanding the test of time.
Contrarily, a foundation built on
quicksand is never steady.
It does not matter how quickly you build
upon it or how much you build:
Every piece of your foundation gets
devoured by the quicksand, and
rather quickly at that.
Some will spend a lifetime
in blood, sweat and tears building a
foundation on quicksand.
They go on, either not realizing,
or refusing to acknowledging that they are
building on something that was never meant
to be built upon from the very beginning.
Therefore again I say,
What are you building your foundation on,
Solid Rock, or quicksand?
