There's a storm headed this way; directed at each and everyone of us. Instead of looking to the Lord while the sun is shining many of us (myself included) wait until the skies that line our life turn grey, we don't seek out Jesus' face until we are immersed in complete darkness. By then it's too late to escape the storm in one piece. All of us will take a beating but the only ones who will make it out unscathed are those who are wise enough to be rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus.
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth these sayings, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded on a rock." Matthew 7:24-25
This wise man's house did not fall because it had a sure and stable foundation. What about you? Do you find yourself leaning on the rock one day then walking away from it another day. Then he is not the foundation of your heart. Jesus said he would liken the those who hear his words and do them unto this wise man. It's time for us to come out of mediocrity and let Jesus be the rock he said that he was going to be. First, by becoming not just hearers of the word but doers also. (James 1: 22)
Jesus can only serve a foundation for you if your house is built upon him and established in his word. Once a house is built does it move? No, of course not, it is fixed in that one spot. Let your heart become a house, allow Jesus, the solid rock to serve as the chief cornerstone so that you will be able to bear the storm headed this way.
