There is a story from the book of Matthew. It reminds us that when we build our houses (the foundations of what we are, what we believe and what we know to be true) on rock… we know that when it rains, and the floods come, and the winds blow and all elements torture the house it will not fall, for it is built upon “the rock.”
And when we choose to build our homes on sand, the rains will come, the floods will come, the winds will come and the house will fall to the torture and it will be no more.
For my friends who are not Christians this applies to your life just as it does to the believers. It DOES matter what you believe, what you know to be true and what matters in your life. When you believe in something and know it in your heart of hearts AND it is good you will have a house built on rock.
For those that are not secure on what the believe or what they believe is not good, it will be liken to those homes built in the sand. They will shift. They will not last. They are not stable.
As the song goes, you must believe in something or you’ll fall for anything. What do you believe? What is your truth? What is your rock?
