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.
