Building Your Faith Upon a Rock

In this Bible story from Matthew 7:24-27, two men were responsible for building campsites. The first man was tired and did not want to look for a good place to build, so he had his camp built on sandy ground. The second man waited until he found solid ground to support the camp he needed to build. That night, a storm came. The first man’s camp began to sink into the sandy ground, but the second man’s camp was built on firm ground that withstood the storm. The second man’s camp was able to rescue the first man’s sinking camp. Wise men build their homes on a firm foundation that will remain solid under pressure. Foolish men build their homes on ground that will sink under pressure.
