Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Psalms 18:2 The LORD my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer my God, my strength, in whom I will trustġ. Who listens to what Jesus tells us in the Bible and does what he says!Īnd when we listen and obey Jesus what rock are we building our lives on? But! Don't be discouraged, lets choose to be like the wise man. And when the flood of temptation or trial comes, you fall flat like that foolish man.

when the enemy shall come in like a flood.Īnd perhaps you've found yourself standing on sand before. What about our lives? When Satan brings temptations and trials to us it may feel like we are being battered by a flood! The Bible refers to the enemy coming in like a flood:

But when the floods came he had no hope! His house fell flat, and great was the fall of it. Perhaps the foolish man thought he was safe? His house was standing to start with and it was cosy and warm inside, everything was going just fine. And that house could never be torn down!!! It could never be moved!īut if we only hear the wonderful words of Jesus and yet still go our own way and don't do what He says, then we are like a foolish person, who builds his house on the sand! Just think about that, who would want to build a house on a sand-dune? It sounds very foolish doesn't it? Jesus said that whoever heard his words and obeyed Him, would be like a wise man who built on a rock. 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:Īnd 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.Īnd 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:Īnd 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. The story above is from the Matthew 7:24-27 where the Bible says: What's the foundation of our life? Are we like the foolish man, are our lives built on sand? No matter how hard it rained or how fierce the floods were his house remained solid and immovable. But the second man who had built on the rocky hill was safe. After much rain, a flood swept through the valley and the man's house that was built on the sand was swept away. He spent many months building his house.Īs time passed a huge storm broke upon the houses of these men. The second man was wise, and chose to build his house on a rocky hill, where it was very hard to access and to dig the foundation. In a few short weeks he was almost finished. The first man was foolish, and chose to build on sandy soil where it was easy to access and easy to dig the foundations. There were once two men, and each needed to build a house.
