Foundations.

The Word of God—the Bible—is not just a book of wisdom or spiritual encouragement. It is the very foundation of reality itself. Just like a beautiful home is built upon a solid foundation, this world, and everything true and lasting within it, is upheld by the Word of God.

The foundation of a house is never the most glamorous part. Once it’s laid, you don’t often see it again. It’s hidden beneath the walls, the floors, the furniture. But without it, the entire structure would collapse. The foundation is what gives the house strength, stability, and safety. It’s what anchors it when storms come.

In the same way, many people are trying to build their lives—careers, relationships, identities—while denying or ignoring the very foundation that holds reality together: God’s Word. They live as though they can redefine truth, rewrite purpose, and recreate meaning apart from the One who established it all.

But imagine trying to live in a house while pretending the foundation doesn’t exist. You’d end up with uneven floors, tilting walls, strange creaks, and rooms that don’t quite sit right. Things would start to break, shift, or fall apart—and you wouldn’t understand why. It might even feel normal after a while, but something deep inside would know: this isn’t how it was meant to be.

You can deny the foundation exists, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s there, holding everything together. At some point, whether through struggle, suffering, or silence, the truth begins to press on the soul. We begin to sense that there must be something deeper holding all of this up—something true, immovable, eternal.

And that something is the Word of God.

Jesus Himself said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) His Word doesn’t just inform life—it forms life.

So the real question is: are we building with the foundation in mind? Or are we constructing lives that look good on the surface but are one storm away from collapse?

If we want our lives to be stable, secure, and full of meaning, we must return to the foundation. Not just acknowledge it—but build upon it.
