The Foundation Of Life
"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
(Matthew 7:25)
The bible talks about 2 characters.
2 men who decided they wanted to build a house.
Both went off in search of a suitable piece of land.
One found a sandy piece of land.
He realized that the sandy nature of the ground made it easier for him to drill the foundations,
thus he'll need to spend lesser time on that and his house would be completed faster.
The other man found a piece of land that was rock hard.
so hard that the it was almost impossible to drill in the foundations of the house.
Nonetheless, he knew the safety that comes with the hard ground,
and decided to build his house there.
One day after both house were built,
a storm arose and both man caught themselves staying in the middle of it.
As the winds blew, and water level rose,
as the rain seeped into the ground,
the house built on sand began to loose it's grip from the ground,
and eventually succumbed to the storm.
The house built on rock however,
stood strong in the storm,
and didn't move an inch no matter how strong the wind was,
because it's foundation was on such firm ground.
See the importance of rooting yourself in the right ground,
setting the right foundation?
Beloved, where are you standing today?
On what ground are you rooting yourself in?
The finished work of Jesus?
Or your own strength and abilities?
Either way, your choice will affect your position and safety in the midst of a storm
So choose wisely,
And This Message, Glorifies Jesus
