Verse from Matthew

凡听见我这些话却不遵行的,就像愚蠢的人,把自己的房子盖在沙土上。

‭‭马太福音‬ ‭7:26‬ ‭


“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.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:26‬ ‭


Jesus knew the futility of building a house on sand. After warning the disciples to be wary of false prophets, He assured them that loving obedience demonstrates wisdom (Matthew 7:15–23). He said that everyone who hears His words and “puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (v. 24). The one who hears God’s words and chooses not to put them into practice, however, is “like a foolish man who built his house on sand” (v. 26).


When circumstances feel like shifting sands burying us under the weight of affliction or worries, we can place our hope in Christ, our Rock. He will help us develop resilient faith built on the unshakable foundation of His unchanging character.
