TOTD, September 16

Build Your House on the Rock

Today, I went to my neighbor’s apartment. We had a chat about her choice of school for her 3.5 years old daughter. She told me that she wanted to find a Christ-based school because this world is falling down at the moment and she thought that the knowledge of God would be something crucial for her daughter.

I do agree. It’s good and important to introduce God to a child as early as possible despite which school that he/she will attend. Only by that, the child will have a good foundation, like what’s written in the bible: build his house on the rock. Even though the rain came, the streams rose, or the wind blew and beat against it, it won’t fall. It’s strong because its foundation on the rock.

How about us, how do we build our ‘house’? Are we wise enough to build it on the solid rock? If we haven’t, it’s not too late to do it now. (-fon-)

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
--- Matthew 7:24-26
