“The Wise and Foolish Builders”

 

²⁴ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

²⁵ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

²⁶ But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

²⁷ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

²⁸ When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

²⁹ because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

 

I hope and pray this scripture will speak to you and facilitate a daily relationship with God. I encourage you to go beyond just reading these passages. Read them, re-read them, meditate, and pray on them. Discern for yourself what God is saying to you through the scripture. When and how you do that is entirely up to you. — Kelly Parker
