"Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these
sayings
of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man,
which
built his house upon the sand."
Matthew 7:24,26
A Solid Foundation
Just
recently I received an amazing e-mail
of sand
sculpturing from a friend.
While
viewing it, I thought of it being washed away.
This
inspired today's inspiration.
What kind
of sand castles do people erect
in real
life today?
Some
spend not just a few hours,
but
precious years,
thinking
they are really accomplishing something.
But then
comes the night,
and the
tides of time swirl in,
and their
cherished "castles" soon disappear.
There is
only one way to build a life that counts
and a
"work" that endures.
It is to
build your foundation on the rock,
Christ
Jesus, our Savior,
and to do
so with eternity's values in view.
To be
successful in business
and
receive the praise of people,
may give
temporary pleasure and satisfaction,
but what
are we doing for eternity?
Are we
building a castle of sand,
or a
solid work that abides?
Whatever
we build in faith on the Word
and work
of Jesus Christ will remain,
for He is
the same
yesterday, today, and for ever.

Them"
