Remodel Update

This week our contractor came over and propped up our roof over our patio. This was needed so that when we remove the concrete slab and posts, the roof doesn't fall. Good insurance. Once that is done and we get our permit, we can pour the new concrete slab, which has to be thicker and reinforced with a re-bar grid. It's important to build a house on a firm foundation.

God's Word is our firm foundation for our life. Matthew 7:24-27 says, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, ad the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

I don't know about you, but I'm not particularly fond of things falling around me with a great crash. I can't tell you how many times in my daily devotions God has given me scripture that applies particularly to my current situations. Words of encouragement, promises for the future, comfort, peace, and wisdom. The Bible is rich with God's love for us. Read it daily, build your life on His firm foundation. Have a blessed Sunday!
