Then He spoke "the foundation that you build your life on, you must be willing to stand on!" As I sat there with Him these were my thoughts. If I build my life on persona, charisma, words and even my actions I better be willing for those things to be what saves me when I need saving. If I build this life with my own hands and my own plan I will only have sand left when all the sweat and tears are washed away. But if ask God to build my life upon Him I can be sure that He will be the one to save me. His walls will never be shaken and His foundation never washed away!
But I am left with a choice.
PUT MY HOPE IN A HOUSE OF SAND OR CEMENT?
if I build a house (my life) on sand (my own efforts, all things that I have to maintain)... when the storms comes and my foundations are getting washed away and I need saving...I have 2 options left. Stay and be washed away or run to Gods house to find refuge (where it is built on cement). Why not choose the CEMENT in the first place?
I find in my life that when the storm comes all you can think about is the storm... you can't control your emotions and pretend to be something your not anymore. All your efforts that held you together get washed away and you a left with your pile of sand. If we only ever chose God's cement life there would be no need to pretend let alone say we "have it all together" in the first place.
MATTHEW 7:24 "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."
Thankyou JESUS that you are preparing a room for me in your FATHER's house!
