Everyone is building their life on something—either the firm foundation of the Scriptures or the unstable sands of this world.
But no matter what you’ve done in the past or how old you are, it’s never too late to begin building on the rock. This is one building project that won’t end until the Lord takes you home.
No one can accurately determine if someone is strong by simply observing external appearances.
That’s because a physically fit body is not necessarily a sign of inner fortitude. In Matthew 7:24-29, Jesus told a story that vividly demonstrates the difference between a strong and a weak life. He said those who are wise build their lives upon the rock-like foundation of hearing and applying God’s Word. However, a person who hears the Word, yet doesn’t obey it, is basically building his life on shifting sand. The true test of strength occurs when storms come into our lives.
