Our devotion today focuses on reading Matthew 5–7 known as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Steve Horn focuses on the final illustration Jesus gives:

Matthew 7:24–27 ²⁴ “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

One simple question: Are our actions, words, and thoughts building on the rock, or on the sand?

The storms of life are coming, are we building on the rock, or on the sand?
