Build Your House on the Rock

Funny how a children's song reminds you of where your priorities lie. 

The wise man built his house upon the rock
And the rain came tumbling down! The rain came down
And the floods came up
And the wise man’s house stood firm!
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
And the rain came tumbling down
The rain came down
And the floods came up
And the foolish man’s house went SPLAT!

This song truly illustrates life.  We have a choice whether or not we want to build our house on the sands of this world.
  The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;  idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions  and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.  (Galations 5)

Or we could chose to build our lives on the Rock, not Dwayne Johnson, but Christ, and heavenly things.
   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.  (Galations 5)


I like the last part best because it puts it into practical terms for your life.

So, build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ
And the blessings will come down
The blessings come down
As your prayer go up
So build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Build your life on the Rock and He will use you to set the world on fire!
