Falling Water

Back last autumn, Brian and I went to Pennsylvania's Falling Water, a Frank Lloyd Wright house that literally sits on the water. I've talked about Wright's architecture in here before, but it always amazes me just how houses can be built perfectly balanced in unusual settings. I can't imagine being able to walk down my steps out to the water, or look down through a window from inside the house and see water rushing below.

Despite this fascinating manmade structure, there is One who created the world, something no man could do. Many are familiar with the first verse in the Bible, in Genesis 1 that starts with "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." But God didn't stop there; he went on to create man, animals, plants, day, night, water.

Where is your foundation? In the things of the world, or in God? Falling Water had to be structurally supported and designed in such a way to withstand the water rushing beneath it; otherwise it would have fallen. If your life does not have a solid foundation, you will be like the man in Matthew 7 who built his house in the sand. Build your life and your faith on the Rock, Jesus Christ. When the rain of life comes, you'll be protected.
