LAYING A STRONG FOUNDATIONS
WELCOME BACK! A strong future is built on a solid spiritual foundation, and Scripture is clear that this foundation is not an idea, a system, or human strength, but Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible says: “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). When life is built on Christ, every decision, dream, and direction gains stability and meaning. Just as a wise builder digs deep before building, God calls us to root our lives in truth, prayer, and faith, because what is beneath you will always determine how far you can rise. According to (Matthew 7:24–25), the one who hears and does the Word is like a house founded on the rock, rains fall, floods come, winds blow, yet it stands firm. This reminds us that storms are inevitable, but collapse is optional when Christ is the foundation.
Christ-centered living, obedience to God’s Word, and consistency are the daily practices that strengthen this foundation and make it visible. (John 15:5) says, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit,” showing that lasting fruit flows from daily connection, not occasional effort. Consider Abraham, who obeyed God step by step even when he did not see the full picture (Genesis 12:1–4); his consistency in faith made him the father of many nations. In the same way, obedience may seem slow, but it is powerful, because (James 1:22) reminds us to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. A life aligned with Christ may not be loud, but it is strong, steady, and fruitful over time.
Speed without structure leads to collapse, because storms test foundations, not decorations. (Proverbs 19:2), warns that zeal without knowledge is not good, and haste leads to error. Many rush to build visible success, but when pressure comes, only what is rooted in Christ will remain. Jesus said adversity would come, yet He assured us, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). When Christ is your foundation, adversity may come, but failure will not prevail, because (Isaiah 54:17) declares that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Thank you, Uplifted Moments family, for choosing depth over display and truth over trends. May the Lord strengthen your foundation, establish your steps, and give you grace to stand firm in every season, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
