Foundations of Creation Part I

We begin to discuss the work of laying the foundation for a new life.  By definition, foundations are the unseen underpinnings of our lives.   Laying a new foundation is hard work.  We must hold in our hearts the truth that this work is worship.  As we lay a new foundation, we must remember that foundation work has a few peculiar qualities to it:

We must lay the entire foundation before proceeding forward.  We must have the vision to see the end from the beginning or the foundation we lay will not meet our needs.  We must have the patience to be diligent in completing the foundation before moving on.

Foundation work will only be praised by the wise observer.  We must be willing to lay a foundation greater than the credit we will receive.  The devil and the world will try to speak doubt into your life to get you to stop your foundation.  Our own doubts will often go unanswered while we labor in the trenches, with only our faith and our vision to guide us.

We are building for eternity.  So these foundations are part of a living system, and they must be maintained.  A building's foundation can be largely ignored after construction, but our foundations must be cared for perpetually.  Neglect will cause damage that can go unobserved until the damage is irreparable.
