Which Foundation are you on?
If you're not going through a storm right now-- just wait they will come. But during these storms of life, which type of foundation are you on? Is it a foundation of sinking sand or a solid rock foundation?
Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:26-27 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.
So are you built upon the rock or a sand foundation in which the foolish man (lost person) built his house upon. The sand foundation is a foundation in which a person puts their hope, faith, and trust in themselves, and things of this world to save them when the storms floods and winds blow in their lives. But soon find out their hope in themselves and things of this world was nothing more then just sinking sand of destruction, that will and has already came into many people lives.
But the rock that a Christian is founded upon is a rock in which it doesn't matter how deep the floods may get or how hard the winds may blow in our lives. Because we know we are founded on a rock, that will never leave us or forsake us. Because our foundation is in Christ Jesus which stands sure all through our lives. And will stand sure even in death, when we will get to be with the one who saved us by His grace.

2 Samuel 22:2-4 And David said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
