"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
Luke 6:46-49 NIV
If we faithfully implement His teaching and obey His words, then He will faithfully make us durable to overcome adversity.
I love the civil engineering analogy of digging to find the rock and build a solid foundation.
Heavenly Father, I want to dig deeper into you. Lord Jesus, may I faithfully seek you and obey you. Holy Spirit, please hold me together when the storms hit. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
