Sand and Rock

The Rock House
The Lord gives a parable of the man who builds his house on the rock, and the other one who builds it on sand. The one who builds on sand has the easier time at first. It's easier to move the sand around. And that's the point, it's moveable. It represents the one who builds his or her life on what's moveable, what's changing - everything but the things of God. It's building your life on your popularity, what people think of you, your reputation, your intelligence, job, house, situation - even good things like marriage and family which are gifts from God. These aren't the foundation ground. The foundation ground is God. Are you building your life on moveable things, temporary things? It's harder to build on rock, because rock is the immovable unchanging word of God - but it lasts. The wise man builds everything on the rock. Because when you do that, when you build your life on the rock, your joy, well-being, plans, marriage, house, ministry, all these things become immovable. All these things will become solid as a rock.

Today's Mission
Pause and ask yourself what you're truly building your life and your actions upon - the sand or the rock. If change is needed, start today.

Luke 6:47-49
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
“Why are you so polite with me, always saying ‘Yes, sir,’ and ‘That’s right, sir,’ but never doing a thing I tell you? These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.

“If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss.”

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua the Messiah bless you,
Love, Tele-Evangelist Lizzy
