Christ Urges Build Firm Foundation
Rejection in His hometown of
Nazareth causes Jesus to shift to
Capernaum where He ministers
for two years. There Christ calls
12 men calls 12 men to be His
travelling companions. And there
by the shores of Galilee He begin
to prepare them for ministry
He will soon entrust to them.
Lord,we purpose to Do What U Say:
Why do you call me Lord, Lord,
and not do the things which I say.
Whoever comes to me and Hears
my sayings and Does them, I will
show you whom he is like. He is
like a man building a house, who
Dug Deep and Laid the Foundation
on the Rock. And when the flood
arose, the stream beat vehemently
against that house and could not
shake it, for it was founded on the
rock. But he who heard and did
nothing is like a man who built a
house without a foundation, against
which the stream beat vehemently;
and immediately it fell. And the ruin
of that house was great(Lk6:46-49)
Lord, we learnt from your analogy
that we will find ultimate security
through turning to You, listening
to You and obeying You. And
Lord, we will respond to your call
to follow You. I want to walk with
You and listen to You and live
as You lived. In a shaky world,
I want to experience the security
and stability that only You can
bring. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, You are leading me to lay
down my life daily. You say some
difficult things but You also promise
great blessings for doing them.
And I purpose to follow You fully.
Lord, I have to admit Your words
don’t always make sense to me.
And I am afraid to follow some
of them fully. But I do trust You
and I want my life to weather
any storm. Anchor me to the rock
as I follow You completely. Amen.
Lord, my heart is already Yours
and I surrender once again to You.
Whatever You say, no matter how
unexpected or challenging it is,
I will purpose to do it. My desire
is to accept Your will. And so
Lord, please share it with me
clearly. For only then will I have
the confidence that You are with
me in the challenge and dare to
undertake it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
