What Are You Building Your Life On? | Matthew 7:24

What you build your life on matters more than how good it looks to everybody else! 

Good morning, my friend! 

Jesus says in Matthew 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.” 

Notice that Jesus talks about hearing His Word and doing something with it. 

We can underline a verse in our Bible, share it on Facebook, and even quote it from memory. But the question is, are we allowing that truth to shape the way we live? 

When Jesus says forgive, are we willing to forgive? When He tells us to trust Him, will we take the next step even when we cannot see the whole road? 

Every act of obedience is part of building a life on a solid foundation. 

Now, building on the rock does not mean the storms will skip your house. Faithful people face hard days, too. The rain still falls, and the wind still blows. But when your life is built on Jesus, you have a foundation stronger than the storm. 

My friend, you do not have to figure out everything today. Start with what Jesus has already shown you. Put one truth into practice. 

The storm may shake your confidence, but it cannot wash away the Rock you are standing on!
