“Why do you
call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on
them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who
dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the
torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been
well built. ‘But the one who has
heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the
ground without any foundation; and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of
that house was great.”
These are the words of Christ recorded in Luke 6:46-49.
We
are much better off if we hear God’s Word and act on it. If we don’t act on the Word of God, it
is a disaster! WARNING, IF YOU
READ THROUGH JESUS’ WORDS HURRIEDLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE READ THAT BEFORE, THEN YOU
MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR JESUS TO SPEAK TO YOU IN A FRESH WAY. I am mentally convinced and spiritually
convicted that I am guilty of rushing through Scripture much of the time. We all may be guilty of rushing through
life without meditating on Scripture as we should according to Jesus. God’s Word is the seed of life as
evidenced in creation and salvation.
Our
“default settings” are not as wise as “God’s Standard” that we find in His
Word. I praise the Lord that we
have seen people grow in their desire to study and obey the Word of God. May that trend continue exponentially?
