*Matthew 7:24-27 ~ Build your life on Messiah*
24. Basi kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu, na kuyafanya, atafananishwa na mtu mwenye akili, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mwamba; 25. mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, isianguke; kwa maana misingi yake imewekwa juu ya mwamba. 26. Na kila asikiaye hayo maneno yangu asiyafanye, atafananishwa na mtu mpumbavu, aliyejenga nyumba yake juu ya mchanga; 27. mvua ikanyesha, mafuriko yakaja, pepo zikavuma, zikaipiga nyumba ile, ikaanguka; nalo anguko lake likawa kubwa.
(Swahili)
24. '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. 25. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26. 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. 27. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.'
(English)
Yahshua calls us to build our lives on Him and obedience to His words… The rain will fall, the floods will come, the winds will blow, but those who’ve built a house on The Messiah are like a house built on a rock that can withstand these trials. Those who’ve put trust their trust in anything else other than The Messiah are like houses built on sand that can’t hold up and are washed away. May we never forget that Yashua laid down His life for us that we might find a home in Him and be kept in perfect peace. This is not a promise of a carefree, trouble-less existence, but rather a life that knows and trusts in a God who holds and keeps us in every season. May you know perfect peace because your mind is stayed on God and your trust in rooted in the One who is our everlasting Rock.
