Mat 7 v 15-29; Acts 10 v 24-48; Ps 18 v 1-24; Gen 39 v 1 – 40 v 23
The Rock

Can you say that your foundation is built on the rock? Are you able to withstand the floods and stormy winds?

The only way to be sure that your “house” will continue to stand through the rainstorms of life is to pay attention to the words of the Lord and adhere to them.

Peter acted on the word of the Lord, went to Cornelius and brought many to Christ. Joseph also stayed faithful to the Lord and although he was thrown into prison, he prospered in everything he did.

It is foolishness to ignore the words of the Lord, thinking we will be able to weather the storms of life, while building our “house” on the sand. Unfortunately there is only one outcome when the floods come and winds start to blow.

The Lord is our rock, strength, fortress and deliverer. He is our refuge, shield and stronghold (Ps 18 v 1 – 2)
When you are faced with death and your enemies have overtaken you, cry out to the Lord for He will deliver you, whether in this life or the next.

Keep His commandments and obey His statutes. Refrain from doing evil and continue in His ways of righteousness and your reward will be great.
