The Rains Will Come, and the Winds Will Blow

Jesus told a parable in which two men built houses. One built his house on a foundation of sand, whereas, the other built his house on a foundation of stone. The rain fell and winds blew against both houses. The house built on sand collapsed, while the house built on stone withstood the storm. Jesus said that if we hear His words but do not act upon them, then, we are like the foolish man who built his house on the sand. However, if we hear His words and do them, then, we are like the wise man who built his house on the rock. The rains will come, and the winds will blow – regardless of where we build our house or how it looks. Therefore, let us be sure to build on the solid foundation of Jesus so that we may weather the storms of life.
