Build on Rock

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.” Matthew 7:24

The story of two men, one who built his house on rock, and the foolish one who built his house on sand has been retold again and again. When the rains and the floods came, the wise man's house was still standing but alas, the house built on sand collapsed and was washed away.

More and more families are moving to coastal communities. The thing is because of climate change, the homes built there are at even graver risk. When mega storms hit, families have to be forcefully evacuated. Strong rains can wash away homes and bring so much devastation. Houses by the beach are always in danger of beach erosion. 

In our life, we need to listen and act on the word of God so that our life is built on a strong foundation. Otherwise, strong winds and rains, challenges like sickness, loss of our job, addictions, this present pandemic, etc. can destroy us! We do not want to be like the foolish man, and so we must try every day to read the Word of God, to embed it in our hearts, and to practice it!
