built on rock.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." [Matthew 7:24-29]

Praise God for the realizations in my life. The lessons learned the prayers prayed and my ears that are listening. Tonight, I was granted the understanding of how important it is that I am building things on rock and not on sand.

My future, my excitements, my struggles, my dreams, my relatioships...all God's plans. What is eternal? What is strong? What is stable? What is true, real, good?

God, change me, move me, break me, challenge me to make my life a life on rocks and life on solid ground and supported by faith. I want to stand on the rocks of your son Jesus and know that the winds, rain, snow, and michigan weather can crash and burn around me...but my feet will not be moved, I will not be shaken, I will not be doubtful. Because I am standing on the rock of Jesus Christ who was crucified, died, and rose again.
