A Firm Foundation

To be a consistent and effective hitter, you must begin with a firm foundation – a strong, base from which to swing the bat. Not only is a firm foundation an important ingredient for consistent hitting, but it is essential for living a consistent, balanced and impactful life. Your life is like a house. Without a solid foundation, a house cannot stand against strong winds and storms. Over time, it will crash & fall. Read the Words of Jesus in Matthew 7:24-27 about the Wise and Foolish Builders. Which builder do you want to be?


(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. (25) The 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. (26) But 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. (27) The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." (NIV)
