Life has a way of humbling us.  Our routines can be turned upside down by an unexpected event that can shake us to our core.  Whether it be a sudden serious illness, loss of employment, or death of a loved one, we continually are reminded how fragile our lives can be.

While we cannot prevent the unexpected, we can be prepared for it.  Our best defense is a solid foundation built on God’s Word.  Matthew 7:24-27 records the words of Jesus explaining how if we obey his commands, then we will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  The rain, floods, and winds beat on that house but it did not fall.  Jesus goes on to say that if we disobey his commands, then we will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.  The house fell when the same storms came.

Build your foundation on the rock that is Jesus so you can be better prepared to weather the storms of life.
