The Choice Is Yours

                                        Matthew 7:24
                          "Therefore whosoever heareth these 
                             sayings of mine and doeth them"

        As you recall, Jesus compares the people who were listening to Him to houses; some would build their lives on sand, some on rock (Matthew 7:24-27).  He tells them that those who hear Him and do not act upon what they hear are like houses built on sand.  But those who hear Him and act upon it are like houses build on a rock.  Since they all hear the same thing, the difference is not in the hearing, but in the acting.  Therefore, when the storm comes, one house falls and the other stands for one simple reason, "The Response."
        Does your life seem like it never has any useful results?  If so, it's really nothing to be ashamed of.  God made us like that.  Clay can't shape itself; it needs a potter.  Colorful oils can't paint themselves; they need an artist. When ever God is shaping us and painting our lives, He tells us the truth.
        Is your answer on the rock?  Or is it on the sand?  Well, depending on that answer, you'll have the answer for your future.  Are you ready to face the living God?  No matter how much time you have left; be ten years or ten months; the foundation of your life must be solid rock, or life will be trifling and frivolous.  AMEN!!
