"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." (Matthew 7:24-25)
The words of Jesus come at us not as simple instruction or command but rather as pure love from a holy savior to His beloved. Wow!...that sounded like a preacher.
But it's true. Jesus doesn't tell us things just to hear Himself speak. He offers His word as an act of love for each of us and as we obey His word to us we can experience the joy of His love.
"to obey is better than sacrifice," (I Samuel 15:22)
It's really pretty simple. Obey = solid life Not obey= shaky life
Storms come either way. Things can get rough. You can even get shaken a bit. However, when all is said and done only one kind of house is still standing. The one built on Jesus' word. It's a great home to live in.
