Foundation & structure

Foundation is what you build on structure holds together what has been built. without a strong foundation the structure or walls can crack the floors will sag , the foundation can even crack the roof can sag etc.. Im talking about construction but I am using foundation and structure as a illustration to help see the importance of having the right foundation a strong foundation to build on and having a good strong structure. christ is our foundation that we build a solid structure we build spiritual growth the structure is faith , faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. our structure should have constant connection , communication we should constantly be plugged into the word of God. being teachable will help strengthen structure . reflection and examination is important , we should be examining ourselves to search for anything in our lives that might hinder growth. like weeds in a garden it chokes out the growth of the seed planted. we should be reflecting on trials we have been through or are currently going through and look at how far God has brought us, in reflection we should also be checking our foundation & structure how did we hold together when the storm hit , did it knock us down for awhile and why did it knock us down we should do this with a open teachable heart open to correction

 Matthew 7:24-27) 24 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:
25 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.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
