Matthew 6: 46-49
And why call ye me, LORD, LORD, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I show you to whom he is like: He is like a man who built an house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it; for it was founded upon rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built an house upon earth, against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
THE ROCK IS JESUS
We are on a "building project" of faith. The Master builder has a plan and that plan includes each of us. When we come to Him for instruction on how to build a life that is pleasing to Him, He tells us. The choice remains whether we build our life on the Rock, which is JESUS or we build our life on the earth/sand. If we do not listen to Him, our life will crumble when the storms rise up against us. If we build our life on JESUS, the Rock, there is no storm or trouble that can cause the life to fall. All the building materials are right at hand. GOD has supplied ample material to build a life that is beautiful and fit for the Master. Our part is to build according to His plan and know that He will "direct our path"
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is GOD (Hebrews 11:10)
