What is visible and tangible is not all that matters. The two houses in today’s parable may have looked the same, in fine weather. But it turns out that they were very different. One was built on sand and the other on solid rock. The most important part of a house is its foundation; yet, it is invisible.
Jesus pushes us to have a sure foundation below the surface of our daily living. Just as the two houses had to withstand difficult conditions, we often have to deal with various difficulties relating to our health, relationships, and work. Our ability to cope with those issues will depend on how solidly we are grounded in faith and our emotional strength.
Jesus offers Himself as the foundation for our faith and our daily lives. Listening to Him and following in his way is how we build our spiritual lives on rock, capable of withstanding the storms of life.
Our LORD desires to be the foundation of our lives. For this to happen, we must cooperate with His call and build our lives on Him.
