The Morrisons make a very important trip to Pennsylvania.  But this turns out to be far more than just a family vacation.  There may be a meeting with some of Hope’s relatives and the entire future of the Morrison family could be changing.  It’s all about the importance of foundations!

How about you…

Have you ever experienced an enormous change in your life?  Did it seem to rock your world, or were you prepared for it?

Check this out…

In the gospel of Matthew chapter 7, we can read these words that Jesus said to a group of people on the subject of being prepared:

24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

See, the difference between the two men was not in what happened to them—they both experienced the same kinds of storms, but one had prepared for them by building his house in the right place—on the rock—to withstand those storms.  It’s important to remember that Jesus is not giving a lesson on how to build a house here.  He’s using this story as an illustration on how we should build our lives.  He wants us to hear His words and put them into practice in our lives.  So our live are like our houses, and His words are like the rock.  Building our lives on anything else is like building our lives on sand!  What kinds of “storms” do you have in your life, and where have you built your “house”?
