“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was made complete.”

I love the imagery here. If you want a solid foundation built on Jesus, it requires you to dig deep. It takes some work…you have to seek it. When you spend time in His word, you are laying a solid foundation that you can stand on through any trial. When we try to do life on our own and we are lazy with our faith, when the trial comes we have nothing solid to stand on. His word is the solid rock that keeps us steady. How’s your foundation?
