“But EVERYONE who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Matthew 7:26-27

We have been learning the importance of laying a good foundation. Yesterday, we learnt that the surest way to lay a solid foundation for life and godliness is to make the Word of God the basis of all we do. That whatever you are building – a career, family, business, dream, etc. – we should make the Word of God the guiding principle we operate by.

In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus told us exactly how to do that. It is obviously more than going to church, serving in a unit, shouting ‘Preach Pastor!!!’ (While all of that is good and scriptural). He simply said building your life on the solid rock is HEARING THESE SAYINGS OF MINE AND DOING THEM. It’s a simple circle – “Hear and Do”. And Jesus Himself, not Apostles Peter, Paul or John or your Pastor, but our savior Himself likened such a person to A WISE MAN. In other words, “it is wisdom to do the Word”.
