Building on a Solid Foundation

Have you ever built a sand castle on the beach? If you have, you know that it won’t last long once the tide comes in. This week I’ve been reading in the book of Luke. This is one of the passages I read.

Luke 6:46-49 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 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. 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.”

It reminds us that we need a strong foundation for our houses and our lives. Jesus is the rock on which we need to build so we can weather the storms of life.

Can you think of any other scriptures that talk about Jesus as the foundation of our lives?
