“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. (Matthew 7:24-29, ESV)
Would you ever start a project without knowing you had the resources to complete it?
Or build a house or a building on a plot of land without testing it first to make sure it wasn’t like sand and going to shift underneath your building once it was done and make it topple?
Every time I read one of these texts I picture the building I use to drive by in lower Michigan. When we lived in Grand Rapids,OH we would visit with some friends on Lime Lake and we would drive by this building that wasn’t complete kind of like the one in the picture here. This was not the building we would pass, but I think of that building because someone obviously started a project and for what ever reason couldn’t complete it and couldn’t undo what had been done.
And that is what life will be like without God. You will start things and never complete them. You will go into projects and never come out of them with a completion.
If you hear the words of the Lord and follow where He leads you, your life will forever be built on a solid foundation and your life will be built by the master crafter!
