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.
Then the storms hit, rain poured down, floods rushed in, winds slammed against that house from every direction. But it didn't fall. It couldn't fall. Because it was built on solid rock.
When life throws everything at you, having the right foundation is what keeps you standing.
