Get on the Rock

24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Matthew 7:24-27

You don’t have to live on the coast of Florida to understand about building on a firm foundation. The only firm foundation for our lives is Jesus Christ. Chaos as found in the world is replaced by Peace and trust in God to carry us through any eventuality. What ever happens in our lives, we Christians know that Jesus holds us safe. Even when we are killed, we enter into His Kingdom, and while we live, we live for Him.
Everyone seeks for meaning in their lives-Christians have found it, and have a Peace which the world does not understand. It can’t. The world is built on shifting sand. Get on the Rock.
