Build on the Rock

Every life is building something. The question is — are you building on sand or on rock?

Jesus said, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

Storms come to everyone — but only those whose lives are founded on the Word will stand. Hearing God’s Word isn’t enough; it must be lived out.

When you build on Scripture, you’re not building on opinion — you’re building on eternal truth. The Word doesn’t change with culture, trends, or feelings.

Make a commitment this week: Read a chapter of Scripture each morning and ask, “Lord, how can I live this out today?”

Prayer:

“Lord, help me build my life on Your Word. Make me steadfast, strong, and unshakable in every storm. Amen.”
