Luke 6:48

"...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."  Verse 47 is essential to the context of this verse.  This story clearly communicates that if we neglect and intimate attachment to the Word of God, then we place our lives on shaky grounds when storms come.
