Upon What Are You Building!?!
Do You, Perhaps, Have A Faulty Foundation!?!
Are Your Building Materials Substandard!?!
Is Your Builder Bloated With Beer!?!
Are Your Construction Plans Drawn With Doubt
On The Paper Of Fear!?!
Beloved,
We Cannot ... As Christians
Build Houses Upon Quicksand!
We Cannot Order Materials
Without First Having Construction Plans!
We Cannot Pay For Our Building
Without Knowing Ahead Of Schedule Our Total Costs
And
Making Plans For Contingencies
Aka Unexpected Expenses
Over-Runs, Unforeseen Circumstances
Built-in Losses
Delays, Disappointments
Illness, Weather Events ... Bearing A Cross!
To Have A Firm Foundation
There Must Be Land Owned Upon Which To Build!
To Have A Sturdy House
You Must Have An Honest Builder
Upon Whom You Can Rely!
To Have A House That Keeps You Warm And Safe Within
While Permitting You To See What Terrors Are Without
You Need Windows Aka Eyes That See And Know
And
Strong Doors Strategically Placed
And
A Table Upon Which To Place The Good Book Of Blessings
Which Is Also Your Hedge Of Protection
Against Known-Enemies Marauding!
If Your Foundation Is Destroyed
Your Four Walls And Roof Can't, Won't, Stand
So Count Your Costs With Christ
And
Build Your House On The Rock Of Ages
And
Know That No Matter What Happens
You Have Made The Right Choice!
Faith, Hope
Trust, Truth
Grace, Mercy
Blessing, Peace, Rest
Unyielding Endurance
And
Unfailing Obedience
Are Unbreakable Bricks With Which To Build:
Bind Them Together With Heartfelt Prayer
And
Look Forward To Moving-In Day!
Jesus Christ ... The Builder Supreme
Will Never With Your Hope And Trust
Deceitfully Play!
Peace!
