Today i wanted to talk about ROCKS! yes rocks... Rocks start out as loose gravel and than once in a place for a long period of time changes to a hard surface. making it sturdy and immovable. In Matthew chapter 7 verses 24-27 it talks about a wise man and a foolish man.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
to be a "wise man" we must do thing things the Lord Tell's us to do, we can find these commandments in the scriptures. a wise man who built his house upon a rock is immovable, so when Satan throws things at us we will NOT move from our place. Satan will try everything to get us to move from it, to make us think that we can't handle the things he throws at us, but we can! as long as we say our prayers, read our scriptures and follow all the commandments to the best of our ability!
to be a "foolish man" who built his house upon the sand, who didn't read and pray and go to church he is who will be swept away when Satan tempts him and tries him! how are we doing on building our faith on a rock? are we reading our scriptures daily? are we on our knee's every night and every morning pleading to the Father? if not, we need to do a self evaluation and re aline your priorities!
