“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” Matthew 7:24-27
Have you ever dug a hole? Have you ever dug a hole at the beach, in the sand? My kids do it all of the time. It is fun. It is fun because it is easy. Have you ever dug a hole for a fence post in a field that is mostly rock? It sucks. It takes time ... a lot of time and a lot of sweat. It is not only hard but difficult. I would much rather be at the beach. And that is our problem. We like the easy option more than the difficult option. Have you ever seen a 10 year old sand castle? There is a reason why you haven't.
Lord, help me to choose the right path, especially when that path is hard/difficult.
