Daily Devotional - July 7, 2025

7/7/25 

Good morning, Friends, 

Matthew 7:24-25 -  [24] “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. [25] And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

Those who are wise build on a strong foundation. A foolish person builds on a weak foundation, caring more about what the establishment looks like, instead of ensuring the foundation would stand against all elements. 

Friends, Jesus Messiah was instructing the people to understand that by hearing his words and putting them into "action" is the same as being wise builder. A wise builder understands that the rain will fall, storms will come, and opposition will arise,  but they wholeheartedly trust in the foundation built on Jesus to hold it down. There's no fear of the outcome of the storm, no anxiety about the length of the storm,  nor stress about the devastation it may leave behind, because we are fixed on the Word of God. Our allegiance is to Him, not just in word only, but in ACTION!

The world system has lied to us, deceived us into believing our lives are all about our comfort and peace. This system has spread lies to enslave us to be individualistic, void of biblical obedience, lacking in theological understanding, seekers of riches, unconcerned about scriptural integrity and character. This is the foundation of the foolish, building on everything except Jesus Messiah and his teachings. 

Build on a firm foundation. 

Don't be deceived.

The winds will come. 

The floods will rage. 

The storms will be fierce. 

But all those who put their trust in Jesus Messiah will be saved!

HAND ME THE HAMMER 🔨 ,  it's time to build our lives on the Word of God!!!!!

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
