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!
