Our Foundation

Matthew 7:24:27 24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

As I was reading my bible, this scripture stuck out to me. Well, in particular these words "yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock"  It made me think about the times I have fallen. It is something that happens even to those who follow God. It's not that we do this on purpose, it's just we are human and were born into sin. Seems like we spend the rest of our lives trying not to fall. But it will still happen because we are not Jesus. As long as we strive to read His word and develop our relationship with Him, one day we will be able to stand and not fall at all. At least that is my prayer. To one day be able to say I was able to stand and stand tall and not fall at all......would be great.  Is that too much to ask for? Is it possible? Anything is possible with Jesus.....
