"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.
