Luke 6:47-48 Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
When the foundation of a building has not been properly laid there is a great risk that the wall will crack. When these cracks appear they usually break the brick causing the crack to widen along the wall weakest point. Repairing the crack by cutting back in a ‘V’ into the crack and then re-plastering it is the usual method of repair, however, if the foundation is not stabilised the cracking will continue.
In the same way we also need firm foundations in our lives or we will crack up in the walls that make up who we are. So we need to look to our foundations in the areas of our lives where we seem to continually repeat our mistakes, if we start off wrong we will always end wrong. So in our marriages, our family life, our places of work, what are the foundations that these are based on?
A foundational aspect are those which irrespective of the situation are solid and unchanging, so if our marriage is founded in mutual respect and love, then that is a foundational aspect of the marriage. So if cracks appear in the marriage we need not to only fix the crack, but to repair the foundation.
Be encouraged today to have firm foundations in your life.
Point to ponder: When Christ is our foundation, we are firm and secure.
Question to consider: Have you cracks that need repairing?
