SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
I speak to those who have plans for the future, and you think you are ready to step into your dream. But, it is like building a house before the foundation has been laid. The structure will not stand. You must do the hard work of preparation first and be sure that your foundation is secure. Matthew 7:24-27 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.
