Spiritual Strength

        In these times that we live in, it is imperative to spend time with our Lord and Savior, especially in studying the Scriptures, prayingfor others and ourselves, and just sitting in silence meditating on how good Christ has been and still is to us, and what a blessing He is for us. 
 
To build a firm foundation with Christ, we must create a Christ-like mind set within ourselves.  Naturally, we see the outer appearance of a person; but not Christ—Christ looks at the heart of the individual.  As we journey on this road with Christ, we will be able to discern some things in a Christ- like manner.  Also, we would learn how to evaluate our life and ask ourselves if we are striving for a firm foundation with our Savior.  St. Luke 6:47-48, speaks of this foundation:“I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, listens to My words, and acts on them.  That one is like a person building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built.”  Praise God!
