A Strong Foundation

You can’t build a house on flimsy foundation,
For it will not have a lengthy duration.
Its walls start to sag and its floors start to creak.
Its future longevity will be quite bleak.

Foundation is basic in all that we do
When we have sure footing, and wisdom pursue,
We will build well... our plans will not fail.
We won’t have setbacks which cause us to “ail”.

The tools of our “building” are found in the Word.
Instruction we find there will best undergird.
We will not falter, nor plans fall apart,
If our foundation is strong from the start.

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
Matthew 7:24-25 KJV
