my house
Posted April 19th, 2009 by misterlib“These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.”
it doesn’t have to be like the second one. work these words into me. these words that Jesus speaks, let them define what i am doing, who i am becoming, how i am living. let me base what i believe on HIS words, and not apply HIS words to what i believe. where there is no foundation, today, let me have the courage to tear down the house and make room for a foundation. i bring nothing to the table. nothing that YOU haven’t already given me. let me remember that all day.
