Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Thursday, 27 July 2017 "Bible Buildings (6)" Bible Reading: Matthew 7:24-27
Matthew 7:24 “So, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on bedrock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed — and its collapse was horrendous!”
-------
In Matthew, chapter 7, Jesus told a story about building a house. First, He talked about a wise man who built his house on a rock. When storms came, this house stood strong. Then Jesus talked about a foolish man who built his house on the sand. When the rains and winds came, his house was destroyed.
Jesus did not tell this story to teach us how to build our houses with wood and stone. He was talking about our spiritual lives. If we read and obey God's Word, we will have a strong spiritual foundation for our lives. When we face bad times, we can depend on God to give us strength. But if we ignore God's Word, we will be spiritually weak.
I hope that you want to be like the wise man and build your life on God and His Word. Read and study your Bible today. Take time to pray to God. Fellowship with other Christians and give thanks to God for all He has done for you.
"It rained hard, the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat
against that house. But it did
not fall because it was built
on rock." [Matthew 7:25]
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your Word. I want it to be the foundation of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
