THE FOUNDATION

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded upon the rock. Matthew 7:24-25

There is a great impact that awaits you whether you obey the sayings of Jesus or not. But I trust that you are a wise person, who will do as Jesus commanded and walk in love at all times. By obeying God, you are building a foundation for your life, which Satan cannot cause to crumble under your feet.

The rains and the floods would be test trials, negative events and circumstances that enter your life. Winds blow and beat upon the house of the person that does the word, and it remains standing because it is founded upon doing the words of Jesus.

The decision whether or not to walk in love will determine whether or not you can endure the tests and trials that beat upon your house. Note that the winds and floods came against both houses. One fell and the other did not. Clearly, the difference was whether or not one was obedient to the sayings of Jesus. And His greatest saying was that you love one another.

When you walk in the love of God, you are establishing a solid foundation for your life. It is a foundation that cannot be shaken by the tests and trials of life. And since it cannot be shaken, when the storm has passed and the dust settles, you will remain standing firm on the Word of God, and see His blessings manifest in your life.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to renew your desire to love and serve Him; receive His grace to live a life of love all your life.

Scriptural Reading: Matthew 7:24-29
