………And the House upon the Rock stood still!!

In Mathew 6:24-27 we read about the the wise and the foolish builders.  The wise man built his house upon the Rock, when the storm and floods came down, the house on the solid foundation stood strong. Whereas the foolish man built his house upon the sand, the rains came down and washed the house away. Jesus is the Rock on which we need to build; basically we should practice the word of God in our lives. Give Jesus the first place in all that we do.

In Psalms 127:1 it is written:” Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain”. You and I are the builders and if not for the Lord we would be building in vain. When Joshua sent two spies to Jericho, Rahab hid them in her house, for the kindness she showed to these two men, when the whole of Jericho was destroyed the house of Rahab was spared, not only her we read in the book of Joshua that she with her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her were kept alive. Her entire family received the favor.You can read it in Joshua chapter 6:15-25. When you stand firm to fulfill Gods purposes and plans, your house will be spared of danger and destruction.

In Luke 19:1-10 we read of Zacchaeus. The Lord Jesus Christ says to Zacchaeus …..”I must stay at your house…”.He welcomes the Lord gladly into his house.  Jesus says in Revelation 3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock…….” If you would open your heart to Him, He will surely reside with you. Just as it happened to Zacchaeus so will it be to you. For the Lord declared: “Today salvation has come to this house”. If not for the Lord who builds all your labor would be in vain. Make the right move and be blessed.
