A ROCK FOUNDATION
Good Morning!!!
A ROCK FOUNDATION
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
July 22
Read Matthew 7:24-27
“Therefore,
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock.”
Matthew 7:24
One of the oldest symbols for the human soul
is that of a building,
sometimes a dwelling house,
and sometimes a temple.
The first thing that has to be done
by the builder of a house
is to select a sound foundation.
On the shifting sands of the desert
it is impossible to build anything at all,
and so, when the desert dweller
intends to put up a permanent structure
he looks about for a rock.
Now the Rock is one of the Bible terms for God,
and the implication is very obvious.
God’s word
is the one and only foundation upon which
we can build the temple
of the regenerated soul with safety.
As long as we are depending upon
something less than that Rock—
upon will power, upon so-called material security,
upon the good will of others,
or upon our own personal resources—
we are building upon sand,
and great will be our fall.
