My First Post

It seems that lately I am constantly reminded of a song that I learned many years ago in bible school. Although that was 20+ years ago, the moral of the story still applies to my life and provides great advice on how to address situations that I encounter.
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 rain
came tumbling down

Oh, the rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And
the floods came up
And the wise man's house 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 rain came
tumbling down

Oh, the rain came down
And the floods came up
The
rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the
floods came up
And the foolish man's house went "splat!"


I love that a children's song has so much meaning. :) I know that as long as I build my life on the rock foundation of Jesus Christ, he will direct my paths.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path." -Proverbs 3:5-6
