Storms Will Blow
“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”
Matthew 7:26-29

Ponder This
There are millions of people sitting in churches that are going to die and go to Hell because there has never been a change in their lives. Jesus said, “Everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.” When you have that sturdy building and firm foundation, you can expect a stormy blast. It is coming.
Jesus says the storm fell upon both houses. The rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house. Which house? The house built upon a rock and the house built on the sand.
When you get saved, does that mean there will be no storms in your life? No, storms come to every life, saved or lost. The storm is going to show whether you have a strong foundation. There’s going to be sickness, suffering, persecution, heartache, and difficulty. But these things cannot ruin the one whose life is built on the rock.
- What are some hard things you have faced? How was your faith tested during that time?
- Who are some people you know that are struggling now? How can you encourage them in Christ?
