~ HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION ~

"HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION" .........


Take any building-structure, in range from short to tall,
and having many sizes from huge to very small;
they have one thing in common-- a low foundation wall.
Although it may look solid, some weakness may exist,
brought on by many factors that arises in it's midst,
and as you view that building, you may not see it's list.

So, as you look upon it, it may not be as well
as the site that you are seeing, since you could never tell
that in that mighty body, weak foundations dwell.
Thus, the building is no stronger than the blocks it's resting on,
and the footing is no greater than the ground that spreads beyond.
With a weak foundation never... does a body stand alone!

Now, man is like that structure with little to rely,
His footing wroth with weakness, but nothing looks awry.
His body's strong appearance deceives the human eye.
Thus, man is no more stronger than beliefs he's resting on,
and his steps are no more truer than the ground he treads upon,
and his footing is no surer than his will to overcome!

How firm is your foundation?
Does your standing list or sway?
Are your footsteps planted squarely upon this earthly clay?
Do you stand on your convictions?
Are you solid when you pray?

If you, your body's structure, meets that building code,
then all the strength it musters-- never will erode,
then all your life's endeavors can haul the heavy load!
So, when your time has passed and you've met it's every test;
You've strengthen every column where upon your structures rest,
You have met your builder maker,
You have done your very best!
