Firm Foundation Matt 7:24-27
#Nightlight #RTTBROS
Matthew 7:24-27 KJVS - 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
A Firm FOUNDATION
The tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, rises more than 2,700 feet—over half a mile tall. It has 160 floors and is twice as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City. It is home to the world’s fastest elevator that travels at 40 miles per hour. The Burj Khalifa also hosts the world’s highest outdoor observation deck (on the 124th floor) and the world’s highest swimming pool (on the 76th floor).
But the secret to the stability of this massive building is found underground. Before construction began to rise up, workers spent a year digging and pouring the massive foundation that supports the building. The foundation contains some 58,900 cubic yards of concrete weighing more than 110,000 tons. The building is safe because the foundation is solid.
Godly and righteous living is important as a matter of obedience, but there are also many wonderful benefits that follow as a result. When we live according to God’s principles of wisdom, we receive His blessing, but we also establish a firm foundation for our lives and our families.
In Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV), Jesus tells us that whoever hears His words and does them is like a wise man who built his house upon a rock. When the rains came down and the floods came up, his house stood firm because it was founded on a rock. But whoever hears His words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house upon sand. When the rains came down and the floods came up, his house fell because it was founded on sand.
Just like how the Burj Khalifa stands tall because of its solid foundation, we too can stand firm when we build our lives on God's Word. Let us strive to be like wise men who build their houses upon rocks so that when life's storms come our way, we will not be shaken.
