Matthew 7:24 (NKJV) 24 \u201cTherefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Since we moved to North Carolina a little over 3 years ago, we have had the opportunity to watch many new homes being built in our community and other communities around us.<\/p>\n

The warmer climate in the south has afforded us many opportunities to spend time outdoors, walking and riding our bicycles. And many of those treks have helped us discover new neighborhoods being developed.<\/p>\n

We have watched as plots of land have gone through the various stages of planning, excavating, and other forms of preparation for new homes.<\/p>\n

And then we get to witness the houses being built, from excavation, to concrete footings being poured, to the final touches being added just before the new owner moves in.<\/p>\n

In all this observation, we have witnessed different methods of laying the foundation for a home.<\/p>\n

And this has shown us things that are both, good and bad, at least in our opinions.<\/p>\n

I am not a builder. That is not my area of expertise.<\/p>\n

But I understand the principles of structure well enough to know that certain principles hold true from one building to the next.<\/p>\n

And here is the truth; if a building is constructed on a cracked or faulty foundation, it is doomed from the start.<\/p>\n

I have witnessed firsthand the problems associated with a home that has cracks in the foundation, or a foundation that was not properly prepared and created. The ensuing headaches associated with such defects are far reaching. And many are devastating for the home\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n

And this is why it is critical for us to be sure that our eternal hopes are not built on a cracked foundation. Or worse, a foundation made of sand.<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ is the ONLY foundation upon which our walk with God should be built.<\/p>\n

Anything less is doomed to failure at the risk of eternal separation from God, the One who breathed life into our lungs.<\/p>\n

So, let us be sure that our \u201chouse\u201d is not built upon sand, but on the Rock, Jesus Christ, the true Son of God.<\/p>\n
