Proverbs 30:4

“Who hath ascended up to heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?”

Oh what a glorious God we serve! He who descended to earth to die for our sins then ascended to prepare a place for us. He who controls the very winds and calms the storms. He who controls the waters and puts us upon the Rock so we don't wash away with the sand. He who created all things in Heaven and earth. He who is all forgiving. He who is the only way to eternal life. He who is our only hope. He who is our only salvation.

He is God our Heavenly Father. He is the only begotten Son of God the Father, Jesus Christ. He is the Holy Spirit that indwells within us.

Only if we are His child can we understand this wonderful truth.

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Matthew 7:24-27

 

“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:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ is telling us here that if we follow Him and do His commandments we will have a solid foundation in the faith He has given us. Oh how many of us need to heed the warning that our Lord gives us here. Remember as His children we will have trials and tribulations in this life. Because we are His children we can come under attach at any moment from satan and/or his fallen angels.

Our Lord tells us in verse 25 that though the rain, flood, and winds come and pound upon us that if we are founded upon that Rock, Jesus Christ, we will withstand those hardships. But in verses 26 and 27 He tells us if we are not founded upon that Rock we will fall.

Where are you standing today? What is your foundation? Are you standing on the Rock or on shifting sands? As a child of God, study His Word. Learn and follow His commandments. Plant your Spiritual feet upon the Solid Rock. So that when those storms come, and they will, you will stand solid in the faith that our Lord Jesus Christ has given you.

 

Praise ye the Lord!
