BUILD ON THE ROCK


Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

The person who builds His life living out Matthew 5-7 the Sermon on the Mount is the one who is wise. I believe that every one of us will have wind, storms and floods coming against us. The storms and floods speak of trials that we all go through in life. But if we embrace the lifestyle that Jesus teaches us on the Sermon on the Mount we will prevail against those storms of life.

Matthew 7:25-26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Those who hear His Word and do not do what He says are building upon a foundation of sand. When we don’t live out this reality we are building our lives on a foundation of sand. When great storms come against us, the question will be, “What foundation have we built our lives upon? Sand or Rock.

I pray that you and I will have the grace to live out the values of His Kingdom. Lord give us the grace to identify the areas of compromise in our own hearts, so that we can truly embrace YOUR values. All the riches of this life are nothing compared to You. I pray that my generation and I will live our lives only for the pleasures of GOD. YOUR Kingdom come Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven in Jesus name. Amen!
