Luke 6:47-49
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
Only the best of the best get to do a Bond song...ehh
Adele was a perfect fit for Skyfall....I'm sure winning the 2012 Grammy for Rolling In The Deep helped...a little.
The movie Skyfall is one of the best Bond films ever. It gets back to the basic 007 props - from Moneypenny to Q and all the rest. Not to mention the special effects of carnage, car chases, and explosions.
When your world comes crashing in all around you...where do you turn?
Of course its always a blessed thing to have loyal friends and family when trouble comes. However, the strength necessary to thrive and survive the storms of life rests not in your network of friends but in the condition of your foundation.
Any size structure can be restored as long as the foundation is intact. When the footings are compromised, it becomes a total disaster.
The Lord Jesus is urging us to build upon the foundation of His principals, values, ideals, character, love, hope, and so on.
When the storms of life overtake the child of God who has structurally built their life upon the firm foundation of Christ, they persevere. The solid rock of our Lord enables us to endure...the fire...the flood...the Skyfall.
Unless the LORD build the house.....we labor in vain.
