THE BEST FOUNDATION | MATTHEW 7:24-27

Happy Friday sisters! Who else is looking forward to the weekend?!

*Disclaimer: makeup is not the subject of this post; as much as I love it it’s not my forte! But hey I thought it would be a rather catchy title, it’ll also make sense as we go into this post and how it relates to this specific scripture we’re about to dive in to!*

“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.” - Matthew 7:24-27

Let’s do a bit of reflecting and ask ourselves this: When the going gets tough, how’s our foundation looking? What is our foundation: the things of this word or the promises and strength found in His word? What ground are we standing on?

Having our feet on solid ground is crucial in order to get through those shaky seasons, which is why the word iterates the importance of us being grounded in God and His word. I don’t know about you, but I would much prefer standing on a ground that does not tremble under pressure, one that will not fall or break under me when I’m “going through it”. How amazing is G and His promises?! Not only does it say that we can lay foundation on Him and His word – but it also says that it’s strong and will not falter! In other words with Him we are safe and secure as we could ever be. Phew, there is none like our God! 

This world is temporary, and so are the things in it ~ this is why so often when we do try to seek refuge in it, attempting to make it a foundation it usually doesn’t go well or last. On a spiritual perspective, God wants us to build our house on the highest strongest rocks that will hold us and protect us from storms and waves. Matthew 7 tells us that we are not only to hear the word but apply it in our lives.

Today let’s make a choice to stand on His word and His truth. There is no greater foundation than standing on God’s truth and promises.

“There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.” - 1 Samuel 2:2
