“The wise man built his house upon the rock...” Are you singing the song with me now? It’s a catchy children’s song that comes directly from Matthew 7:24-27.
And its application to wisdom is not just for children.
Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with this practical illustration of the importance of putting what we have learned into practice.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock... But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The only difference between the wise man and the fool? Whether or not they put Jesus’ words into practice.
Are you ready to put God’s words of wisdom into practice?
