46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.” (Luke 6:46-49 NLT)
What are you building your life upon? Are you building for success, happiness, comfort, pleasure? These things are not bad by themselves, but they cannot be a good foundation for our lives because they don't last. They can disappear or be taken from us quicker than we realize. Think about all the things we lost during the Covid crisis.
The wise person builds his or her life on Christ. Jesus' Words, His forgiveness and love can never be taken away from us. He gives us help and strength to stand during the storms of life. The well built life is built on Christ.
