The Wise and Foolish Builders
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. 25The 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. 26But 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. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Jesus tells us and gives us something to believe in...We all need to ask ourselves sometime in our lives, what do we believe in...
If we are wise, we will build our house with a strong foundation...So when the bad weather comes, and it will come, our house will be on a rock solid foundation...Jesus gives us something to believe in, a solid foundation...Without belief in Him, we are like the foolish builder, who built a house on the sand...During troubled weather, our house will be stressed...If the bad weather continues, our house on a weak foundation can weaken and fall with a great crash...
Jesus tells us, we must put His words into practice, and to live them...Just reading the Bible and giving it lip service, is not what He wants...Let us pray that Jesus makes us wise builders and follow Him forever...What we believe in, is how we see life, it is how we will live our lives...Ask yourself what do I believe in, and how do I want to live my life???...
Jesus tells us troubles, grief, and sufferings will come in your life...Belief in Him, makes our soul and spiritual energy, a rock solid foundation for our lives...What we believe in is more critical than any house foundation...How we live our lives everyday is how we are building our foundation..
