In baseball, it’s pitching. In football, it’s a strong defense.
I’m talking about the foundation of success in sports.
Every successful team knew what was required in order to
achieve success, and they started building on those components.
Always keep in mind that it is possible to build the wrong
kind of base. Sometimes baseball teams think they can win
on pure power alone so management assembles a bunch
of sluggers and run scorers only to find out in the playoffs if
not sooner, that their pitching wasn’t good enough to carry
them all the way. They built on the wrong base.
We, like sports teams, do that too. We can build our lives
on the wrong foundation or on no foundation at all. Then,
when trouble hits, our lives crumble around us. What we
thought was a strong foundation money, relationships,
religion, good deeds, does not hold us up.
In life there can be only one true foundation: Jesus.
1Corinthians 3:11 says, “For no man can lay a
foundation other than the one which is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.” Even Christians can be fooled by good
things, thinking those things will give them security. But
someday that building material will be tested and found
inferior.
