ANYONE WHO LISTENS!

MATTHEW 7: 24

"ANYONE WHO LISTENS to my teaching, and follows me, is a wise person who builds his house on a solid rock."

When the storms of life come, and they always do, is your house built on a "solid Rock"? Do you consider yourself a "wise" person? If not then perhaps you should listen to the One Truth Today! Jesus Christ, the Lord God, is letting you know that ANYONE WHO LISTENS to His teaching and then follows Him. is a "wise person". The Lord is the solid rock that we need to build our life and our house on, if we want them to stand! If you do not listen, then your house and your life will not stand. We need the right foundation built with plans that are wise to withstand the perils of this life. If your house or your life is built on sand, with a weak foundation and plans that do not include the beginning of wisdom, it will not stand. You need a strong tower to run into when the critical moments in your life come!

The solid teaching of the Lord is the "rock", to build your life on. After you have heard this message it is vital to take the next step. You have to be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. ANYONE WHO LISTENS to my teaching, and follows me, is a wise person who builds his house on a solid rock. Not everyone who hears the Word of God, listens and learns. That is why not everyone enters the kingdom of heaven. Those who listen and do the will of the Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven. Like a parent talking to his child, can you just hear the Lord saying to each of us, ARE YOU LISTENING?

We are all children, of God. We all must learn to listen and learn and then respond to the teachings of the Lord. It is never enough to just hear a parent speak, we must respond in a positive way. We need to assimilate as much of the Word of God as we possibly can. The more we know the wiser we will become. Theory is one thing but action is the thing that is needed.
If you want a proper life and a proper house then you need a solid rock foundation to base them on. Are you following the teachings of Jesus Christ the Lord God? If not, then you are not listening and you will never be wise. Your house and life will collapse around you.
