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
toughest winds.
God doesn’t just want you to hear his
Word. He wants you to do it, obey it, and
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
you have no control over any of 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…the Word of God.
What’s the rock? The rock is the Word of
God. And the more you build 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.
