Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Luke 6:47-49
Our family loves to go into lighthouses on the coast because they are so fascinating learning about the history and the hardship of the light keeper back in those days. Lighthouses were needed in the 1800's to help guide the ships as they came to shore because there were no GPS in those days. Not only were the people rugged back then, but the lighthouses also had to be rugged to withstand the constant storm of the wind and sea.
There is this cool picture where a light keeper is standing in the door way of the lighthouse while a helicopter is taking a photograph. While the person is standing looking at the helicopter a huge wave is seen pummeling the lighthouse. Thankfully the lightkeeper saw the reflection of the wave on the helicopter and in a nick of time shuts the door before the arms of the wave wraps around the lighthouse.
The light house is able to stand because it has a good foundation built into the ground. We don't always see the whole lighthouse, because part of it is buried into the ground. The base of the lighthouse is also much thicker at the bottom than at the top. They were built to last.
Whoever comes to God, listens to what God says and does them then he has a foundation like the lighthouse. He has dug a deep ground and laid his foundation on a rock and that Rock is Jesus. So when the storms of life comes to shake your life you will not be shaken.
Come to God, listen to Him and start building upon Jesus who is our solid foundation
