Matthew 7:21, 24–27
Jesus said to the people, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its fall!”
Reflection
• What is the foundation of my life? Can it stand when a storm comes?
• Do I relate to the foolish builder who takes short cuts for quick results? Or to the wise builder who is content to spend time in digging hidden but secure foundations?
