Day 14 - (Today’s Bible readings: Genesis 11:1-9, Psalm 13, Matthew 7:24-8:13)
“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.” (Matthew 7:24-27 ESV)
Are you wise of foolish? You answer depends on whether of not you are listening to Jesus!
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
The difference is clearly foundational. Those who foolishly ignore Jesus call to repentance and faith are headed for destruction.
“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.”
It is so important that you listen to Jesus, trust in Jesus and follow Jesus for the rest of your life!
Good news, when you attend church this morning, you will have another chance to hear Jesus and His words of mercy, grace, love and forgiveness.
Dearest Lord Jesus, thank You for being the rock solid foundation upon which I build my life. Grant me the wisdom to hear You clearly and trust You completely! Amen.
“See” you at the Communion table!
