A strong building needs a solid foundation. If a foundation is weak or cracked, the entire building becomes unstable. Builders know that the first and most important step is laying a firm foundation that will support everything else.

In the same way, our lives need a strong foundation. Jesus spoke about this when He said:

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24-25)

Building on the rock means hearing and following Jesus’ words. When we base our lives on Him, we are like the wise builder. Storms may come—difficult times, challenges, temptations—but our lives will stand firm.

Maybe you feel your life has been built on shaky ground, and you’ve struggled to stay standing. It’s never too late to lay a new foundation. Jesus invites you to build your life on Him, the solid rock that will not crumble.

If you’re ready for a fresh start, trust Him to be your foundation and experience the strength only He can provide.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
