Be the wise builder

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law."

That’s Matthew 7:24-29. Pretty cut and dry scriptures, right? Build what you’re working on, on a solid foundation, on a rock. Better yet, build on the Rock, Jesus Christ. That way, when the storms of life come, your footing will be secure. When we build on a sure foundation, being rattled and being affected by little things, won’t be a problem for us. When we build a steady landing, when chaos is going on all around us, we will have peace despite it all. That’s what the wise ones do. That’s how the wise ones operate. Be the wise builder -- yes, be that one.
