Firm Foundation – Man as Provider

“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. 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. 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.” And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. - Matthew 7:24-29 ESV

If your home is built on a faulty foundation, you’ve got a big problem. A colleague of mine at Family Research Council discovered that his family’s home had a fractured foundation. As a result, cracks were showing up in the exterior bricks and the interior sheetrock. Something had to be done quickly before the damage was irreversible. After my colleague spent tens of thousands of dollars on a foundation repair company, the home was saved. Now, his home is fixed on a firm foundation.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus emphasized the importance of building one’s life on a firm foundation. He used a powerful illustration of two builders: one wise and one foolish. Jesus said that a person who not only hears His words but also heeds them is like the wise builder who builds on rock. By following Jesus’ words, one can build a firm foundation that withstands life’s challenges.

The opposite is also true. The person who hears Jesus’ teachings but doesn’t follow them is like the foolish builder who builds on sand.
