More than Information
Calvin Kochi24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27
It is so easy to want information and to get wisdom, but where do you get it from and what do you do with it. Jesus instructs us that wisdom can be found in His Word, but it’s not just hearing Gods Word it is putting His Word into action.
I like to build and make things so getting instructions or finding people with the expertise needed is really important to me. I would try to find best resources to learn from whether it was through books, videos, classes, or find the right person. What I realized is that although those are great resources and helpful, but when it came to my personal life depending on myself and others to instuct me left a big hole. What I realized is that the best source of true wisdom is found in Gods Word it taught me how to build a proper foundation for life. These verses are the very instructions and tool that I’ve always need. It is a tool that I am using everyday, and yes there are days that I don’t, but I am quickly corrected back to His Word. I want to build on a strong Foundation.
Thank you for teaching me how to use the Greatest Tool available. Your Word is the best set of instruction that anyone could ever want. Help me because it takes more than just hearing it or reading it is living it out.
