SOLID ROCK 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. Matthew 7:24 At t the conclusion of Matthew 7, Jesus told the story of two men ...who built two types of houses. One house was built on a good foundation of rock, while the other house was built on a foundation of sand. Then Jesus described a storm that came and beat against both houses. The house that was built on sand collapsed, while the house that was built on the rock stood firm. Jesus concluded that the man who built on the rock is the one who hears the Word of God and obeys it. He said the man who built his house on sand is the one who hears the Word of God and does not obey it. But one other thing I see in this teaching of Jesus is the fact that the storm struck both houses. Every life and every person will experience hardships. But the question is, will your anchor hold in the storms of life? Will they destroy you or strengthen you? Will they make you better or bitter? If your life is built on the solid foundation of the words of Christ, nothing will be able to shake you. You will be unmovable like mount Zion. 1 Peter 1:24-25 says, All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever. Those who do the will of the Lord will abide forever. Prayer: Lord, help me to always abide in Your word. Scriptural Reading: Matthew 7:24-27
