Build on the rock - the rock is Christ

Morning: Psalms 85, 86; I Samuel 2:1-10; Ephesians 2:1-10

Evening: Psalms 91, 92; Matthew 7:22-27

I remember a song from childhood: “The wise man built his house upon the rock ... The foolish man built his house upon the sand.” It was obvious, but I did not understand the metaphor - that the house is a life and the rock is Christ. In dreams, a house is probably your life. To build your ‘house’ is to build your life. In Jesus’s story, the ‘rock’ is his teachings and his ways. Build that house on that rock. I get the metaphor now, but I’m still building after trying sand more often than I care to admit!
