The uncontrollable winds of life-relational winds, financial winds, and spiritual winds can overwhelm you and throw you off course.
But God’s Word is filled with principles to help you withstand even the most formidable winds.
God doesn’t just want you just to hear his Word.
He wants you to do it, obey it, to practice it.
The Bible says, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Notice the three things that happen in a storm: The rain comes down, attacking the roof of your life
The streams rise, flooding the foundation of your life.
And the winds blow, beating against the walls of your life.
You’re getting it from every direction and have no control over it.
What do you do with the uncontrollable things of life-that diagnosis you can’t control, a child you can’t control, or financial hardship you can’t control?
You put into practice everything you have learned in Scripture.
And when you do, you won’t fall because the foundation of your house is built on the rock of the Word of God.
What’s the rock?
The rock is the Word of God.
And the more you make your life on it, the more solid you will be.
John 13:17 says, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them” (NIV).
That verse doesn’t say you’ll be blessed if you KNOW these things.
It says you’ll be blessed if you DO them.
