A House on the Rocks

Did you ever build a house in the sand? Rain washes the sand away, and down goes the house! Jesus told about a man who built a real house on the sand. Rain came down and the house fell flat. Another man built his house on rocks. It rained, but the rocks stayed in place and the house stood tall. Jesus said that if we obey him, we're like that man who built his house on the rocks. When troubles come, we'll be strong.

My Bible Verse:

"Anyone who listens to teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock."
Matthew 7:24, NLT

My Prayer:

"I'll obey you, dear God, and then I'll be strong. You'll help me when troubles start coming along."
