When starting any building, any project, or any business the foundation upon which we begin will determine the final outcome. When beginning to learn a new sport or musical instrument, its vital to master the fundamentals as our foundation. An athlete, without the fundamentals will never leave their seat on the bench. A building with a poor foundation will never become one of the wonders of the world. What then should we use as the foundation for the lives we are striving to build for ourselves? The surest foundation upon which every human life can be built is upon that of their faith in Jesus Christ.
And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
