Video footage showed a town in South America before, during and after the storm.<br />The before showed a peaceful little town, unassuming, non deserving of it’s now nigh doom.<br />The during, showed trees snap like tooth picks being plucked out of the earth and fly skyward. Whole rooftops were flying around, cars tumbled like toys and houses tumbled and fell. Total destruction hit that little town and it fell like a deck of cards.<br />The morning after the storm the camera crew walked through the devastation, it was a beautiful morning, sun shining and stillness in the air almost unnerving. As they commented on the total destruction I picked up an observation. The foundations of all the destroyed buildings weren’t damaged and so a rebuild was put in place and now that little town stands brighter and better and stronger than ever before.<br />Now being a preacher I was sitting in tears thinking of the storms of life and how they sweep through our lives bringing destruction and change BUT if our foundations are good we can rebuild. For any building the foundation is critical. It must be deep and strong enough to withstand the weight of the building and other stresses.<br />Lives are like buildings, and the quality of each ones foundation will determine the quality of the whole. Matthew 6:33 “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”.<br />God is always true to His Word and if you seek Him before all else your foundation will be strong then when the storm hits that which is above the ground may take damage but the foundation remains intact, ready for the rebuild.Pastor Philhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07301188805316317441noreply@blogger.com
