With Hurricane Gustav crashing into the Gulf Coast, I have spent some time this morning praying for the people there. As I prayed, I was reminded of Jesus' parable about the wise builder building his house on the rocks not the sand. While I don't mean to imply anything about New Orleans or the Gulf Coast, I couldn't help but look at my life and ask what I've built my life on - sand or stone?
What is the foundation of my life? Do I live on principles of sand? When storms hit, what will stand up to them? Have I surrounded myself with men and women who will stand with me in the face of "hurricanes"?
When my foundation is God's Truth, I can stand. Even when His Truth is counterintuitive, I can trust it.
- Give and you will recieve
- You must lose your life to find it
- The last will be first
And the list goes on.
Have you taken time to think about the principles upon which you have based your life? Are your feet on the sand or rocks? The first big storm in your life will tell.
