But what about your Foundation?
Hey, hey, hey good people!
I pray you have had a joyous week that was prosperous and productive. How do those keys feel in your hands? I pray they have a little weight to them. You know folks believe the “good stuff” holds weight. Today I want to discuss the importance of our foundations. I realized that in the last blog we discussed choosing which door we would walk through without even checking the foundation that the door was standing on.
So hopefully you chose the door that would lead to life. Which means you are intentionally choosing to die to your old self and consciously choosing to build your new self in Christ. If you’re still on the fence concerning where you will build I pray at the end of this blog you will have better clarity on the foundation on which you will stand.
I will be referencing scripture from Matthew 7:24-27.
In this chunk of scripture we see Jesus speaking and he is highlighting the importance of not only building our house upon a rock but the wisdom that comes with it. In vs 24 Jesus states that the person who hears his sayings and doeth them has built his house on a rock and is likened to a wise man. He then follows it thru in vs 25 by highlighting that even the storms that are bound to come will have no impact on the house that was built upon the rock. For it will be able to withstand the storm.
Now there are some folks who willingly choose to build their house upon the sand. If you were like me…I’m sure you read that and thought “who would choose sand to build their house on?” Sadly, you’d be surprised. Some of your favorite world known prophets, pastors, bishops, preachers, gospel artist, politicians, entertainers and the likes have built their house upon the sand. You’re probably looking like….”the folks living in mansions, with excessive wealth and nice cars?” YEP, them folks.
See when you choose to build your house upon the sand and the storm hits you are unable to withstand the blows it delivers. When you read vs 26-27, you see that those who hear Jesus sayings and still chose not do them are likened to foolish men; Who suffer great falls!
Jesus provided us with everything that we need to build a strong foundation. Yet he leaves us with the choice concerning the foundation we will build upon. The two options we have are the rock or sand. Choosing wisely is detrimental in this current climate of the world. I don’t want any of us, myself included, to do all of this work to build and establish a beautiful house. Just to realize it was built on the wrong foundation.
See we can believe or even appear as if we are doing the works of Christ just to realize that on that great day where we are to meet him that he never even knew us. (Mt 7:23) That’s the sinking sand! The great fall.
I pray ye chose to build your house on a solid rock. Where the storms of life can’t break you. Where the storm isn’t even significant when it passes through. You’ll have to check out Episode 03 for that word.
Welp gotta run again! I’ll catch y’all later. Stay prayed up!
Love ya later.
