Build On The Rock

Matthew 7:24

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.

Today’s verse had me singing “The Wise and Foolish Man” song.

The wise man built his house upon the rock, (X3)
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rain came down and the floods came up, (X3)
And the house on the rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand, (X3)
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rain came down and the floods came up, (X3)
And the house on the sand went “SPLAT!”
So, build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ, (X3)
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up, (X3)
So, build your life on the Rock.

If you know the song and it is stuck in your head now, you are welcome! The moral of the story is to not just be a listener, be a doer. I don’t know how many times I have told my children or my students OK even my spouse something and it went in one ear and out the other. Truth be known I have done the same thing to others in my life. Let’s confess we all have. One person we need to never do this to is God. Don’t be a pew sitter, build that house on a rock. Be a doer!

Lord, thank You for giving me a stable place to build my house. I want to be a doer of Your word and not just a listener. ~amen
