If you have ever lived in or visited a large city, you probably have had the chance to watch a skyscraper under construction. For the first six months or so of the project, all the workmen do is make a great hole in the ground. To build a tall building by starting far below the surface level seems absurd, even crazy. But, as you would suspect, there is a good reason for the large hole. To build a mammoth building, it is first necessary to dig down until a strong foundation can be built, one that is capable of supporting the skyscraper.<\/p>\n
A doghouse needs no foundation, and an ordinary house can be built on little more than a concrete slab. But a skyscraper, that\u2019s different. It requires a deep and solid foundation.<\/p>\n
So it is in our Christian life. Our upward potential is totally dependent on the foundation underneath it.527<\/p>\n
A very short man wanted to drive a nail in his wall to hang a picture. He stood on a chair, but it was not high enough. His wife placed a box on the chair, but he was still short of his goal.

Balancing himself precariously, the do-it-yourself picture hanger began to tap timidly with his hammer. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you hit it hard?\u201d asked the wife. \u201cYou\u2019ll never drive the nail that way!\u201d<\/p>\n
Our hero looked down from his perch to reply, \u201cHow can a man hit anything hard on a shaky foundation like this?\u201d528<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
