Built on the Rock by Rod Parsley

Build on the 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. Matthew 7:24 There was once a man who built a beautiful house on the ocean. One day a storm came. The water rushed up the beach and into the man's home, destroying the beautiful floors and walls. The house soon began to slide away into the ocean as the sand underneath it gave way. The man survived, but wondered how his seemingly sturdy home had fallen apart so easily. There was another man who, like the first, built a beautiful house, but this man was wiser and knew the only place to build was on sturdy rock. When the storms came, the man watched the storm from the safety of his sturdy house. The world will tell you that you have a secure future if you've saved enough or built enough success, but what do people do when tragedies happen, when the rains begin to come and the ocean threatens to wash away their homes? The Bible tells us to build treasure in heaven and build on God, who is "a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble" (Psalms 9:9). Jesus tells us to be like the wise man who built his house on solid rock. Trust in God and He will never let you down. Further Reading Matthew 6:19-20 Revelation 21:4 Matthew 7:24-27 God Bless
