Rock Or Sand

Rock Or Sand

I love how Jesus ends His Sermon in the Mount. The people must have been listening intently, but now was the moment of truth; what were they going to do with this new knowledge. 

Jesus told them that they needed to choose the foundation on which they were going to live out their lives for Him; the choices were rock and sand. 

We have that same choice today. And we make it daily. If we hear the words of Jesus and do what He says, we are building our “house” on  a rock foundation. It will be sturdy when trouble comes. But if we hear the words of Jesus and do not do what He says, we are building our “house” on a sand foundation. It will crumble at even the slightest trouble. And remember, in John 16:33, Jesus confirmed that we will have trouble. So choose your foundation wisely. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Matthew 7:24 & 26

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” 

26 “But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.”
