Spiritual Development: Building a Foundation
Just as in any construction of a building, a foundation must be laid. Our foundation is the most important aspect of our lives. It can determine the strength in our life, the abundance, the stability, how high we can go, and how low we go when the storms of life hit… When you build your house on the sand, it will eventually collapse. But when it’s built upon the rock, it will not only stand, but will allow you to continue to build and grow and develop to the greatest height.
Principles and Truths are what we build with…for example, these United States of America, were founded on Biblical Principle….the Constitution is based on Godly Principles. When those principles are in place and acted upon, our nation will continue to thrive, and be the greatest nation of all time… Remove those principles or ignore them, and we will collapse! The Constitution of the United States of America is not “inherently flawed” nor obsolete!
There are “foundational” truths that we will focus on over the next year… and there are key principles to apply that will enable us and strengthen us and ultimately bring God closer… We draw near to Him, and He draws near to us.
And Faithfulness to the principles is key!
Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings!
We start with looking at “the Rock” in which we are to build…
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
We need to understand this reality and why and how, is this possible… This is a vital and imperative aspect of our foundation.
Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
