In nature, as in human construction, a deep and strong foundation is important to a tall structure. This is also true in the spiritual realm. If you want to attain to spiritual heights you must be deeply and firmly grounded.
Unhappily, most people are satisfied with being a miniature, and even the giants are just a smidgen above the others. When you have finished growing, it is too late to build a sure foundation.
I watch as people aim for, prepare for and believe for smallness, only to be rewarded with failure and eternal loss.

If you don't ADMIT your need and His provision to save you from all sin and make you more than a conqueror who always triumphs in Christ,
if you don't SUBMIT to God's will,
if you don't REMIT your stunted and self-satisfied existence,
if you don't OMIT your love of the world,
if you don't COMMIT to God's power to make all grace abound to you and make you more than a conqueror and save you to the uttermost,
then you will never be more than a carnal, weak, incomplete believer at best, and you may not even endure to the end.
Follow the worldly crowd to hell,
follow the church crowd to mediocrity or
follow Jesus to victory and glory.
