Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” (Luke 6:47-49 NKJV) Just about all the church has heard or read the above scripture and claims to have built their house on The Rock - Jesus Christ! Weve sung the songs, and prayed, confessed this scripture in an effort to convince God (or ourselves) that we are a doer of The Word! But are you? You who say that you are a doer; are you really? Notice what it takes to build on the Rock: who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock! Have you DUG DEEP? Do you get up early or stay up late, or set a side time during the day, to spend time reading your Bible? Or does it have dust on it? Do you even know where it is? Do you listen or read only scriptures that make you feel good, or do you seek in The Word for the Truth that will convict you of your sin and refine you to His image? Digging deep to lay a foundation is painful! It builds muscles! It takes time and is repetitive! It takes a desire to do a job to the best of your ability and see it through to the end! It takes commitment! Is THAT how you approach your walk with The LORD? Well, you can examine yourself in the little storm you are already in, and determine if your foundation is solid! If you have fear and worry, then you built on sand, not a rock! Fear, worry, double-mindedness, are sin! They are sand! They and unforgiveness, bitterness, and judgment ARE the mortar for walls; but to keep God out! God is saying: tear down those walls of unbelief, doubt, and other sins that are separating you from His blessings! Dig deeper! Get rid of your sins! Tear down the lies; the shoddy construction, (the denominational doctrine and traditions of men) that have laid the walls that will not hold up in a storm! You insist; you choose excellence in your construction and demand of yourself, for your family the excavation through the sand, all the way to The Rock and begin building the right and true foundation! Time is running out and the storms, THE BAD STORMS are coming! Start today! But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great. Get your house finished before the ground is too wet to dig! Even so - MARANATHA! From: 6/5/14
