It made the news.

Recently, a Catskill’s city in Upstate NY received 7 inches of rain. I recall one weekend when we received 19 inches of rain in DeFuniak Springs, FL. It was high school graduation weekend for our son Lee and his grandmother drove from Louisiana to attend. We survived the downpours.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.  Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall (Matthew 7:24-27 NASB).”

A person would have to be mad; out of their mind, to build their house upon the sand. The best constructed sandcastles are swept away by rushing waters. All need to build their lives on a firm foundation.

“According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-11 NASB).”
