Building on the Rock

Today's Reading: Luke 6:46-49

Devotional: Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish builders presents a stark contrast between those who hear His words and act on them, and those who hear but fail to apply His teachings. The foundation we build our lives upon determines our ability to withstand life's storms.

Consider the areas of your life where you might be building on sand rather than the solid rock of Christ's teachings. Are there aspects of your faith that are merely intellectual assent without practical application? Today, choose one teaching of Jesus that challenges you and commit to putting it into practice. Remember, it's not enough to call Jesus "Lord" – our lives must reflect our commitment to Him.
