Day 19

“Anyone who listens to My teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.  But anyone who hears My teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.  When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

– Matthew 7:24-27

In the verse above Jesus is talking about two types of people: the wise and the foolish. One builds his life on the Word of God, which is a strong foundation, and the other builds his life on sinking sand. One experienced deliverance, while the other experienced a great fall. What have you built your life on? Have you built your life on things that other people have told you or what you have learned at school? Or have you built your life on the Word of God? When you are experiencing a storm in your life, it helps to know that you have a strong foundation. Storms will come. If your life is built on the Word, the Rock which is Christ, you will be standing after the storm passes.

Here are some other promises from God’s Word:

Psalm 32:7 – He is my hiding place & He will protect me from trouble and surround me with deliverance!

2 Timothy 2:19 – God’s solid foundation stands firm!

Matthew 6:31-34 – God provides all that we have need of!

Romans 8:28 – God works for the good of those who love Him!

Hebrews 13:5 – He will never leave you, nor will He forsake you!

Seek Him first!
