Sand and Rock

Monday, February 21, 2022

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.
