A STRONG FOUNDATION

Dr. Tony Evans came to speak to my church this past Thursday and Friday, as part of the 300th year celebration of St. Helena Episcopal Church's establishment as a church, and as our thirty year celebration.(No contest there!) His talk the first night, was on the importance of  establishing a good  foundation at the beginning of your life. His remarks started me to thinking.~~~~
It seems like everything in life, that God has given us, needs a good foundation, before the best benefits will be seen, When you plant a garden, you have to prepare the soil, so that the foundation for the veggies or plans will be aequate. When you build a house, you definitely have to prepare a strong foundation, or you will be flat on your back!  When you put on makeup, it's always best to put on foundation first, and if any fisherman wants to catch a decent amount of shrimp, he will bait the waters ahead of time, and make the  bedding foundation, more productive for shrimping!
God's word is no different! There has to be a good, strong fundation of His word, from the very beginning, for the word of God to take hold and grow into a life long stronghold!
Let God's word be somethig that you can come back to, again,~~~~and again!
A good strong foundation that will grow into something beautiful and eternal!
