Matthew 7:24-25
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
I hear a lot of things..."clean your room." "come here." "Don't do that." "That isn't right" ect. But hearing will do me no good if I don't listen and obey. The wise man isn't wise because he hears, he's wise because he listens. We're suppose to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. To stand our house must be built upon the rock! That firm foundation doesn't just come through us sitting in church every week hearing the message, or through us reading our Bible everyday...the firm foundation comes through obedience to what he hear. I'm sometimes guilty to read my bible and keep doing exactly what I was before. That's not wise. If we're not careful the storm that's on its way will hit us out of nowhere and leave us broken and foolish. The sand is nice but it's not strong and it goes whatever way the water directs it. We are suppose to be unmoveable! The decision to do right is made long before the world ever asks you the question...like Daniel--> he purposed in his heart that he wouldn't defile himself long before he ever stood before the king. We can only stand if we're standing on the rock. The storm is coming; will your house stand?
