Build on The Rock by Dustan Ricker Men's Minstry Leader

Matthew 7:24-25 - Therefore who ever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock, and the rain descended, the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Observation: David was a good example of this he had already been picked by God to be the King but life was ruff. Saul was seeking to kill him at every opportunity he could and every where David went people were wanting to deliverer him over to Saul, no matter how good of a place he found to hide. But he always sought the Lord.

Application: No matter how bad life seems at times these scriptures are reminders to me that if I will turn to the Lord during the good and bad times my life will not be taken away by the enemies floods of attempts to take it.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for being the rock that we can always stand on and count on no matter what. In Jesus name I pray....Amen
