Matthew 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.

I used to sing a song in children's church about this:
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
the wise man built his house upon the rock,
the wise man built his house upon the rock,
and the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
the rains came down and the floods came up,
the rains came down and the floods came up,
and the house on the rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
the foolish man built his house upon the sand,
the foolish man built his house upon the sand,
and the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
the rains came down and the floods came up,
the rains came down and the floods came up,
and the house on the sand went SMASH!

We've all experienced hurricanes and storms, and we know it's the beach houses that go first. Building our house--our life--on a solid rock foundation--Father--just makes sense.

On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
