Today's Prayer 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌

Choose Your Foundation “[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: ” Matthew 7:24 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/mat.7.24… Imagine standing next to the sea as waves crash at your feet, storm clouds swallow the sky, and the wind whips your face.   You know you need shelter—and that’s when you see a small hut nestled in the sand nearby, and one further away that’s firmly built into a rocky hill. Which shelter would you choose to take cover in?  2,000 years ago, when Jesus walked this earth, He often told stories to the crowds that gathered around to hear Him teach. One day, He said to them:  “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.” Matthew 7:24-25 NLT As was His way, Jesus used real-life examples to help explain spiritual truths:  “But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Matthew 7:26-27 NLT We are all building our lives on something. Every decision we make reinforces what we believe our support system to be. So when life’s storms come, will the thing you’ve built your life on support you—or cause you to crumble?   Jesus’ teachings have remained reliable and steadfast through social upheaval, the rise and fall of government regimes, and generations of historic change. No matter what has happened—God’s Word still stands firm.  Teachings from the world, on the other hand, tend to shift with each generation. Like shifting sand, what current culture provides is usually unstable because its values are constantly changing. Storms are inevitable and challenges will come, but you get to choose your foundation. You can choose to make Jesus the one thing you build your life upon, or you can choose whatever habit, idea, or desire feels good and accessible in the moment.  So … what will you build your life upon?

Heavenly Father, Today give me the confidence to approach You without fear. Remind me of Your love and Your goodness toward me. You are the ruler of the whole world but You care about me. You are both a great God and a Good God. Pour out grace and mercy on my life today. I admit how much I need You in every single step I take. Help me to remember that You want me to come to You with my needs and desires. Right now I humbly ask for Your presence and Your help in my life as I go through my day. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
