V:4 N:137

“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…”
Matthew 7:24

Today, read Jesus’ story of the Wise and Foolish Builders in Matthew 7:24-29. We’re going to dig into this story over the next few posts, because it uncovers so much about the heart! We must examine the foundation of our heart – check down in the basement and see what your house is built on! Check your time, money, thoughts, actions, desires — what percent of your mind, time, money, gifts, and love are given back to God by using them according to His will? The answer needs to be 100%. If you are holding back on your obedience to God, you are greedy and idolatrous and will have no inheritance (Eph. 5:5). Everything you have built and everything you have worked for will be washed away – gone – and you will have wasted your time for nothing. A wasted life. The only foundation is the ROCK that Jesus laid – all your heart, soul, mind, and strength for God (Luke 10:27). THIS focus and foundation will leave you standing after the storm! Read this today, examine your foundation, and we’ll dig further next week!
