The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders
Key Scripture
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for a beautiful day spent in your creation, for the freedom to worship you freely.
Help me to reflect on your words. May I learn to have a strong foundation so that I will be able to follow and obey you no matter what storms come my way.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
