I can’t get enough of this song, and just love this group.
The bible tells us in Deuteronomy 7:9, To know the Lord our God. He is faithful, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and obey His commands. The choice is ours. Do we love Him and obey His commands? Can people tell we are His by how we live our life? How we go through the tough storms of life? How we stay committed to Jesus NO MATTER WHAT?
Or do we just look like fans of Jesus? All for selfish reasons like Judas. Jesus doesn’t want fans. He doesn’t even need them. Some fans are not committed to still being a fan if they see it as they are always loosing. If you look at things from an eternal point of view, instead of the here and now, you win if you stay committed. Jesus wants followers. The kind that show that they are built upon a rock, no matter we go through, or how we try to understand them. Stand on the unshakable rock, because Jesus is unshakable.
Matthew 7: 24-27…….. Storms in life are inevitable. We will all face them more than once, and some hit a lot harder than others. Are you ready for them when they hit? What is your house(you, your faith) Built upon? You will surly find out when the storm hits. Build your life on Jesus Christ now. Don’t wait till it hits. Strength, faith, peace, hope, trust, these are all built up in us. It just doesn’t happen when you decide you want it. Don’t just get through each day, thrive through each day with joy, with Jesus. The less you have of Him, the quicker you sink when the storm comes.
The storm will reveal the reality of your faith. If you are a Christian, your faith will be tested. That is a fact. So it is very important that you build your house on the rock. Your marriage could be tested, your health could be tested, or the health of a loved one. Even in death, where does your strength and hope come from? Our stability is only from Jesus Christ. When these times come, depending on what your building your life on, sand or rock, that will determine whether you are going to stand and see through the storm to the other side.
This life is not all there is. I feel bad for you if you think it is. You miss what your purpose is here, but most important, eternity. There is an eternity. Life on earth is brief. We are going to spend more time in eternity than we are here on earth. It makes no sense just to live for this life. Life will offer us many choices. Life in eternity offers us 2 …. Life with God, or without Him. So all choices that we make in life will come down to these 2 choices in the end. If you choose to build your life without God, than you choose to live eternity without Him too. Life here and now is a preparation for the life to come. So build your life on what lasts forever. This world will pass away. ……What last forever? …..1 John 2:17, ………. “Whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
