Matthew 7: 21-24

Mat 7:24-29
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall." When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

The difference between the wise man and the foolish man is what they did and didn't do. Both of them build the same house with the same designs, shape and sizes. Yet it's the foundation that shows who is the wiser one. Who are the fools? Those that doesn't have a firm foundation. Who is our firm foundation? It's Jesus Christ! He is our real Rock! The ones that "hears [his] words and acts on them"

These are the two kinds of people that are in our church. Some may be serving but they have no foundation. What they have are shallow and will give way when the storms come. Surely as God is able to keep us from falling. he will not hesitate to let the foolish ones fall. But while we are still living in a period of grace, may we come to realisation of our need to strengthen our faith deeper in Christ through His Word.

Oh may I never be one that hears the word then forget it. May Your word be my foundation!
