Are you a wise man?

Today, we’re looking at an interesting verse from the Bible. It’s Matthew 7:24, and it goes like this: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

Now, what does that mean for us? It’s all about building a solid foundation for our lives. Imagine your life is like a house. You wouldn’t build it on sand, right? It would crumble during a storm! Instead, you want to build it on something strong, like a rock.

Jesus is talking about the same thing, but with our lives. He wants us to build our lives on his teachings, not on things that won’t last. It’s like choosing between following trends that fade away or sticking to values that always hold true.

This verse isn’t just about reading the Bible; it’s about doing what it says. It’s about putting Jesus’ words into practice in our everyday lives. When we do that, we’re building our house on a rock-solid foundation.

So, here’s the challenge: How can we build our lives on Jesus’ teachings? Maybe it’s by being kinder to our friends, helping out at home, or standing up for what’s right, even when it’s tough. It could be praying regularly, reading the Bible, or serving others.

When life throws storms our way – and it will – we’ll be able to stand strong because we’ve built our lives on a rock-solid foundation. So let’s choose wisely what we build our lives on. Let’s choose Jesus and his teachings. That way, no matter what comes our way, we’ll be able to withstand it!
