When we truly believe someone has our best interest in mind, we’re wide open to their influence… and that’s the basis of Christianity.
The foundation of our entire life experience is the key. Not just Follow and Believe. Or simply Obey. First Follow, then Believe, and THEN Obey. All the time.
At the end of the day in this life we’ll be glad we did, because He loves us!
Matthew 7:24-25:
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
… and then here comes the storm…
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.
For those who obey.
Organize our life around what He teaches, we’ll be glad we did!!
What we do with what we have has everything to do with the outcome… great words for Happy Monday!!
