“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. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-27
Dr. Tony Evans wrote these words about these 3 verses in Matthew 7 in his Study Bible notes:
I once had a crack in a wall of my house. No matter how many times I had it fixed, the crack came back. Finally, I learned the problem wasn’t with the wall; the problem was a shifting foundation. Many of us have “cracks” in our lives-emotional, relational, financial-but we address the symptoms and not the source of the problems. If you want stability in your personal life, your family, your ministry, and your community, you need the strong sturdy foundation of God’s Word-which includes both knowledge of the Bible and applying it to life. Wisdom is the ability and willingness to apply spiritual truth to life’s circumstances. Foolishness is unwillingness to do so.
