Built on the rock

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 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. Matthew 7:24, 25

The bible clearly says that a person who hears the word of God and does it is wise. If you are reading this word that I'm sharing and you are practicing it, means God calls you wise. You will soon realize that what you are doing will be successful because God is backing you up. Then God's opinion of you becoming wise becomes everyone's opinion. People will start calling you wise and take your inputs because you are succeeding in everything you are doing. The work of your hands are blessed. Though you might not see that God is blessing you, but you will realize that you are trying to do what God is telling you and you are succeeding

If you are going through tremendous pressure of life, tremendous pressure of your studies and exams, tremendous pressure at your work place I want to tell you only one thing, it can't succeed against you. You are built on the rock, all these things against you, will hit you and fall down, but you will not fall. You are built on the word of God, and God says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but His word will never pass away." If you are trusting on God's word, if you are depending on what the promises of God are telling you, then all the circumstances rising against you will fail, but you will still stand. Everyone who is plotting evil against you will fail, but you will prosper. You don't worry what should you do? Don't worry about planning wrong things against others, you depend on God. He will turn around everything for your good. Everything you lose, you will receive double of it. Don't succumb to the pressure.

In the end you will see with your own eyes, that everything has really passed away, but you are still standing. After the storm a new day has come for you. Remind yourself daily that you are the house built on the word of God. You are built on the Rock of God. You will not fail.You might fail at times and will not be able to do everything that God has asked you to do, but God likes that you are trying. If you fail, while trying to do what God has asked you, don't worry and think that you are not built on the rock, but remind yourself that the grace of God is available for you. Remind yourself that the mercy of God is available. God says, "My grace is sufficient for you." This is for all your weakness. Start reminding yourself the promises of God rather than all your failures. Remind yourself that you are wise and built on the rock. God loves you.
