The House Founded on the Rock...
The rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. If you’ve climbed on boulders , you’ve probably slipped a time or two. In many respects, we do the same thing in our commitment to life , But once you’ve ascended, once you’re secure on this immovable structure and look out safely at... the waves below, there is something truly remarkable in knowing that they may splash you, but they cannot carry you away. There’s a reason boulders are immune to storms: these large, sturdy rocks are anchored so deeply they are immovable. Some have been around for thousands of years, unmoved by time or conditions. They may be sat upon, rained upon, built around, or smoothed over, but the boulders remain intact. Temptations and anguish have the same effect on our hearts that the waves have on us when we’re seated on a boulder: they lap over us. At times, it may seem as though these waves are stronger than our rock, but as soon as they beat down on our foundation, they break and disperse. thereby building a secure foundation that will protect you , we cannot avoid strife and difficulties on this side of heaven. But with love you will break those hard times upon impact, giving you the power to manage and endure.
