Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matthew 7:24 (KJV)
God has a way of measuring who is wise and who is not wise; His criterion is based on who is obedient to his Word. Those who are doing his Word are referred to as wise and those who are not doing his Word are referred to as simple or foolish. Doing the Word has good reward but disobedience to his Word has just punishment. The one who hears the Word and does it is building his/her life on the rock and the one who hears the Word and ignores it is building his/her life on the sand. Both builders are tested by the rain, flood, and wind. The one who built on the rock stood the test; in fact it was not shaken by the rain, flood, and the wind. The one who built on the sand fell and great was the fall. Now those who take advantage of the grace of God to do the Word of God are prepared to withstand the pressures of life but those who reject grace to please themselves are preparing themselves to fail in life.
