Shifting Sand
"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."—Matthew 7:26
We live in times, "and they are a changing," declared Bob Dylan. But change is imminent in every generation. Yet, some things are constant. Time. Natural Laws. Death. Sin. And most of all God's Truth delivered by his son, Jesus Christ. While you'll be tempted to respond to the trends of life with original approaches, cutting-edge strategies, and trendy tactics know this—the man who adapts to a shifty message is building on shifting sand. Build your life right, brother. Worry less about the changing world, and focus more on the unchanging words of Jesus. And don't just focus on them—do them. The integration between how you hear the truth and how you do the truth is your foundation in shifting times. I can guarantee two things. One, there will be more changes coming. And two, the man of God who is embedded in the truth will stand.
DO THIS: Hearing God's Word + Doing God's Word = A firm foundation in shifting times.
PRAYER: God, I commit to digging deep today.
