“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
— Matthew 7:26–27 NASB1995
🏚️ Shaky Foundations
It’s not enough to hear the truth—we must act on it. Jesus draws a sharp contrast between two lives: both hear His words, but only one obeys.
When storms hit, those who merely know what’s right but never do it will collapse. Obedience isn’t legalism—it’s life-preserving faith.
🕊 Ante-Nicene Insight:
The early church didn’t just learn Jesus’ teachings—they lived them. They were mocked, betrayed, and beaten for it. But their lives proved their foundation was not in comfort, but in Christ.
💭 Reflect:
- Am I building on knowledge or obedience?
- What commands of Jesus have I heard but not acted on?
✨ Prayer:
Lord, don’t let me settle for hearing Your words without obeying them. Teach me to build my life on faithful action. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
