Watch your step!

That's something people say when you are about venture out where its hard to keep your balance - like walking out onto a frozen lake, or maybe climbing some wobbly stairs or a ladder.  Sometimes we just need to plant our feet and have something to hold on to.

​

The big things in life are the same way - whether its building a home, planning your future, or even growing a life-long friendship.  You need a solid base - or things will just come crashing down around you.

​

You need to start with a firm foundation.

​

Jesus told us about a wise person who built his house on a solid rock - so that when storms came, the house was strong and he was safe from the wind and waves that were all around.  Jesus was telling us we can depend on him, like a solid rock.  

​

A strong base is important, but you also need to be "planted" on that base.  Just like a tree growing on the side of a steep mountain, whose strength comes from its roots going deep into the rocky slope, our best life happens when we find our place in the world, and draw our strength from Jesus Christ, our firm foundation.
