Wise People Build…

“Every one who hears my teachings and acts upon them is like a wise man who builds his house upon rock” 
Matthew 7:24

It always fascinates to me to watch a building being built. Methodically each piece is placed in its correct position and before long an empty block becomes a great building. It has taken a lot of work, skill and wisdom to accomplish this amazing task.

Today’s verse tells us that wise people will build. The wisdom to do this is gained simply by hearing & acting on the Word of God. The 2 vital elements of hearing & acting on God’s Word, form the rock-solid foundation that ensures lasting results from whatever we’re creating.

It takes effort to build. The last thing we desire is for it to be knocked over or easily destroyed. The foundation becomes extremely important in making any structure sound. That’s why we build on rock and not moving sand. The right foundation ensures that everything will last even through life’s most powerful storms.

This week let’s remember that every person leaves behind something. So why not leave something that’s guaranteed to last. Let’s be wise by building our lives & families on the Word of God. As we hear & act upon it we’ll become stronger each and every day. The foundation of our family will become rock solid and immovable. It will cause us to leave a greater legacy that’ll be able to bless the generations ahead.

Stand & Endure…

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

The key to any good building is its foundation. The foundations hold & support the weight of everything that is built upon them. If they are faulty, the whole building may be unstable and won’t endure. But good foundations produce a good building and good foundations are what we need to succeed.

Today’s verse reminds us that we need good solid foundations to live a successful life. Jesus says that whenever we hear what He says and we do it, strong foundations are formed for our future. If we ignore His voice, or choose not to obey, we cause faults to form in the foundations of our lives.

But that’s not all. As we hear and do what God’s Word says, wisdom enters into our lives. Wisdom will then permeate our foundations increasing their strength. Everything we build upon these stronger foundations will stand and endure the storms & floods of life.

This week let’s strengthen our foundations. Let’s become hearers & doers of God’s Word in even greater measure. Our life’s foundations will become as solid as rock and everything we build will stand and endure. Life’s storms will not be able to destroy us and everything we do will be for the glory of God. That’s where we’re heading, so why not join us on this journey.
