/*For [Abraham] was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose 
architect and builder is God. -- Hebrews 11:10*/

Where I live you have to dig down about four feet to put in footings if 
you want to build a house. If you don't, freezing and thawing will 
damage your foundation, and your building will eventually crumble.

Without a good foundation, a building, a city, a life is vulnerable and 
insecure. It won't stand up to storms.

And there is a storm. The enemy is hurling everything he can think of at 
the people of God. This wind is not subsiding; rather it is growing in 
intensity and in fury.

But the city of God has foundations. The storm will not prevail. In the 
end, the New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven like a bride beautifully 
adorned for her husband.

Abraham lived in a tent and, yes, his tent was fragile. But the storm 
could not consume him because his real home was the city with 
foundations. The enemy would like us to look at all that is fragile in 
our lives and cringe before the storm of his making. But I believe the 
Lord wants to remind us that our home is the city with foundations.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
