FOUNDATIONS

by Lewis E. Thomas  
4/07/2016 / Poetry

Every House and building whether big or small.
Needs a "solid" foundation to "support" it all!

If the foundation is bad it's just a matter of time!
Before the structure fractures and cracks with the stress of age and time!

What kind of foundation are you standing on today?
Are you standing on "The Rock" and to Him do you pray?

Is your House built upon the world's shifting and sinking sand?
Or is it standing secure on Jesus the Son of Man?

What kind of foundation are you building for your children today?
Will it sustain them through life's storms and be their moral stay?

Give your children a foundation that is built on Jesus Christ!
It will keep them secure like a mighty anchor through all the storms of life!

A House on any other foundation is sure to fail!
But a House built on Jesus Christ (THE ROCK) will always prevail!

Luke 6:48-49 KJV
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
