Read Luke 6:46-49
If you have ever built anything you want to make sure that it is built well. When building a house, whether built by you or by a contractor, it is important that it be built to high standards. It must withstand the wind and rain, the snow of winter, storms throughout the summer and the heat of the sun. It must be built so that it holds together and does not fall at the times that are important for it to be strong and safe. It is the same with our relationship with Jesus. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are saved. We take our eggs out of all of the other baskets, that we once trusted, and put them into one, that of Jesus. As our relationship grows, we are to increase our trust and faith in his promises and his ways. It is not enough that we just say that we have a relationship with Christ Jesus, we are to demonstrate our faith on a daily basis. Just as we dig a solid foundation for a house, we are to also dig a solid foundation for our relationship with Jesus. It should be built upon solid rock and not on loose and muddy soil. That way, when the storms of life pass through, our relationship does not crumble. It instead, stays strong and withstands all of the forces of evil that come our way. We should keep a check on our foundation with Jesus and continue, each day, to study his word, pray to him, listen to him and do what he tells us to do. It is not enough to just hear his word, but we must hear and be doers at the same time. The more we talk with him and become doers of his word, the stronger our trust and faith become. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
