WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL: MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK
by Paul W.
“For no other foundation can anyone lay. That which is not of Jesus Christ, our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
 
No matter if you are student, an engineer, a doctor, a contractor, or any other profession–there is a part of your job that represents the “foundation” of your workload.  If you work with computers–the hardrives, the physical equipment is your foundation.  If you are a student, you have to know how to do basic math before you can do algebra.  If you are an engineer, you have to know how to create blueprints before you can work on a building design.  Everything requires foundation.  Each layer you build after the foundation just creates a more solid foundation.  We build foundations in our personal lives everyday–in our spiritual lives everyday.  My foundation in my own personal life can look like me praying with my wife Michele and reading Scripture with her…or my foundation could easily be built by me generally asking what prayer she might need once a week, and telling her to “keep it up” on the hard days.  One of course is probably more solid than the other.  How are you building foundation? By the way, it’s quite possible your building your foundation by doing nothing at all.  I want you to be honest, ask yourself, why are you “at” where you’re at?  It doesn’t make you bad, evil or wrong, but it’s important to be authentic with yourself so we can start making steps to creating a strong foundation.
