Foundation of Faith
Too many times when there is uncertainty, people simply say, “just have faith.” However, exactly what are they saying to have faith in? Faith is often times directed in the wrong places. People tend to have faith in a person or an object (wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, car, job, church, etc.) What happens when those people or things let you down or just do not work? Abandonment of faith is soon to follow.
This is a reminder of Matthew 7:24-27:
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
