Except the LORD build the house,

"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it"

Solomon said these wise words.

Gods building of our lives may not go up as fast as we would like, but it will stand the test of time.

Jesus said:

"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."


Building upon a foundation of false pretense and lies will never yeild a lasting structure no matter how glorious it may appear from a distance.

We build in our youth when there is an abundance of energy and resources.

The test of that structure comes as we advance in age.

What a sad telling story when a life of pretense begins to crumble and there is not enough time, energy or resources to prop it up.

Nor is there enough time to re-build upon a correct foundation.

"and it fell: and great was the fall of it"

God is not mocked, what you sow you will reap.

I am Honestly pitying an man that I have known and loved as the weight of life continues to press upon the shoddy footings of lies and deceptions.


God help me not to out build my foundation.
