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
Mathew 7:26
When you hear the sayings of the Lord and you “do” them, you
are like a man who built his house on the rock.
The reason people build their life on the sand instead of
the rock is because they “consult appearance instead of reality.” A house on the sand looks like a house on the
rock, but it’s not the same. The house
on the sand will not stand in a storm.
There are those who seek the heights of godliness but shun
the depths of self-denial. Whatever is
not built upon God and His foundation will not stand the test of time. Don’t be satisfied with appearing to be
right…..you must be right!
The second reason why some build on the sand instead of the
rock is ”a focus on speed instead of thoroughness.” A sower of seed can lose his crop if he fails
at planting at the right depth. Anything
worth having will require a digging down for a sure foundation.
In 2013, we must make sure that we are building on a firm
foundation. Don’t be led away by quick
success and easy beliefism - you must be born again.
Let’s dig to bedrock during our sunshine days so that we
“might make our calling and elections sure.”
