Jesus gives us a choice to make between living our lives according to His Word or according to our own. His Word offers us a firm foundation upon faith, hope, and love, while our words are changeable, unsteady, shifting with the winds and the rains that buffet us in life.
Do we build our lives upon the bedrock of the Word of God or upon our inconstant selves? How often do we mistake the quicksand of our selfishness for the bedrock of faith? When we hear the words of God do we act on them as Jesus asks us to do or do we follow our own good intentions off of the cliff of destruction?
O Lord, give us the wisdom to listen and act upon your words and to build the temple of our souls upon the bedrock of your Gospel. Let us not mistake our selfish desires for your Selfless Will.
Amen.
