Life's storms reveal whether we've built our lives on solid rock or shifting sand. True stability comes from digging deep and building on Jesus Christ, not on temporary things like career success or relationships. This requires excavating layers of pride, fear, and regret to reach the unshakeable foundation of obedience to God's word. When pressure comes, those with strong foundations stand firm while others collapse. The choice is ours: will we do the hard work of proper foundation building, or take shortcuts that leave us vulnerable when storms inevitably arrive?
