FOUNDATIONS

Foundations are vital!  Contractors spend large amounts of time positioning a building, digging and laying footers and building a solid foundation!  Start with a faulty foundation and you'll have less than a sound building!

Parents are laying the foundation for lives as they invest in their children.  The future for these children is largely based on how well the parents do this work!

What about people who are now adults and realize that their foundation is weak or faulty?  Excellent question!

Two recommendations:

FIRST
Seek God aggressively!  Jesus Christ is the sure foundation!  God will help you to reconstruct your life on the principles in His Word!  He CAN establish you and more than compensate for the shortcomings (or tragedies) in your early life!

SECOND
Seek out healthy friends and companions!  The scripture is full of exhortations reminding us that we become like the people we spend most of our time with.  Therefore, hang out with healthy people!  Immerse yourself in people who love God and His Word and who live according to godly principles!

Any other attempt to establish stability in your life will be far inferior to these two paths!
