19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. Our Lord teaches us we can either choose to be prudent, sensible and wise in our choice of foundations or we can choose to be silly, stupid or foolish – sounds like a no-brainer to me! Paul gives us fair warning as well by stating in 1 Corinthians that the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God’s sight:ġ8 Do not deceive yourselves. 24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion therefore I will wait for him.” Lam 3:22-24 (NIV) 23 They are new every morning great is your faithfulness. When the Lord is our portion and sufficiency, we will always be satisfied:Ģ2 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. His comforts will never fail His faithfulness is great and new every morning. Those hopes which are built on Christ the solid Rock will stand even when the storms fiercely blow. A sudden death, the loss of income, a wayward child, a chronic illness, a love-less marriage – you name it, these beat against our houses like no small hurricane. Because we live in a fallen world and we wrestle daily with Satan, sin and self, trials and heartaches blow hard on us all. Jesus begs the question of us all - upon what foundation are we building our houses (lives)? Upon what ground does our building rest? The foundation determines the ability for our structures to withstand the elements – the cold hard winds of life of which no one is immune.
