Scripture For Today

Matthew 7:21-27
²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Build on the Rock

²⁴ “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: ²⁵ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
²⁶ “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: ²⁷ and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Faith is an action word and without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6). In this passage the house represents a person and the foundation, be it the rock or the sand, represents the persons faith. When the rain, floods and winds came upon the house that was built on sand it crumbled into pieces but when the rain, floods 
and winds came upon the house that was built on a rock it stood strong and was not moved at all.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). We must build our faith by getting to  know The Lord through prayer, studying the Holy Bible, and trusting that He is who He says He is and will do what He said He'll do.
 Jesus Christ is the Solid Rock! If you place your trust in Him you cannot and will not fail. Although there are many doctrines and religions to follow in this world, I encourage you to holdfast to the one and only true living God. The One who was, who is and is to come ( Rev 1:4). The One who is the same yesterday, today and forevermore (Heb 13:8). Give Him all of your trust because He will not let you down. So when the storms of life puts your faith to the test through trials and tribulations be sure to have your feet planted 
firmly on The Rock!
