Build on strong foundations

Morning: Psalm 105:1-22; 2 Kings 18:28-37; I Corinthians 9:1-15
Evening: Psalm 105:23-45; Matthew 7:22-29

A young colleague died tragically and unexpectedly this week.  To cope with such moments, Jesus reminds me, you need to draw upon inner resources and strength built up over time.  In dream theory, a dream about a house is a dream about life as a whole.  Just as you cannot build a sturdy house overnight, it takes time to build a resilient life.  You need to build solid foundations on the ‘rock’ of ancient wisdom and prayer, day by day over months and years. Then, in time, when ‘storms’ rage, your house (your life) will be able to withstand them.
