I Hear!
The rains have descended. The floods have come.
The winds are blowing and are beating upon houses and buildings. Some may fall and yet others may not. What will make the difference? I learnt this lesson from Scripture. Jesus said,
Mat 7:24-27 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. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Emphasis mine.)
It’s a foundational issue.
Way back in the day when I used to rap, (and get that shocked look off your face), I had a song titled, “Forgetful Hearer” inspired by Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Here it is free of charge.
Many know the pain and loss caused by a collapsed house/building. You can avoid this kind of thing in your spiritual life. How?
The declaration is simple and two-fold:-
Hear the Word of God.
Be a doer of the Word of God.
Please don’t be a “Forgetful Hearer”.
