Did you see the Encino hillside home breaking in half and slipping into the neighbors' backyards? The roof has rendered apart, trenches are splitting wide open and destruction is in its path. A dozen families below have been evacuated.
Jesus had it right when he talked about building a house on shifting sand. Building codes must have been just as lax two thousand years ago.
The metaphor about strong foundations holds true today. A life built on the shifting sands of popular culture is just as likely slip onto the rocks below. LA is teeming with lives built on shifting sands--broken families, broken promises, broken dreams.
Children raised without fundamental faith foundations are destined to slip and slide through life. Without a firm foundation of God's love and guidance, they are at the mercy of life's storms. When the winds blow and the earth shifts, a strong spiritual foundation provides the strength to ride out the tempest.
Lord, I lift those without spiritual foundations in LA to find their anchor in You. Guide them to others who can begin laying the cornerstones of faith.
So Be It,
