Matthew 7:24
Jesus says, ” Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise person who build their house on the Rock.”
Inspiration.
God and Jesus is the Rock of our salvation.
Obedience to God creates a firm foundation for living the Christian life. Those who obey out of love for Jesus build a solid life of strength and endurance for themselves. The terrible storms of life may hit us, but they can never destroy us, when we build on the Rock – on Jesus Christ. (adapted from Pastor Stanley)
Prayer (for you)
Eternal Father,
I am so thankful for Your Holy Scriptures – Your Holy Words, that is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
To show me the way to live a holy and godly life in this sinful, troubled and corrupt world.
O Lord Jesus, my desire is to be obedient to You in every way, so please help, lead, direct and guide me in Your good and perfect way that leads to life eternal.
Thank You for the firm foundation that I have in You, help me to keep looking to You, the Author and Finisher ( perfector, developer) of my faith.
And build my life in You – the solid Rock of my salvation.
So that when the storms of life come my way, they cannot destroy me, because I am anchored to You, Lord Jesus, my Saviour, Redeemer, Intercessor, Advocate, Good Shepherd and my Friend.
I worship, praise, love and adore You.
In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
Hymn.
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life.
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain.
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
Chorus.
We have an anchor that keep the soul.
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll.
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move.
Grounded-ed firm and deep in the Saviour’s love.
2.
If ’tis safely moored, it will the storm withstand.
For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s Hand.
And the cables passed from His heart to thine.
Can defy the blast, through strength Divine.
3.
It will firmly hold in the straits of fear.
When the breakers tell that the reef is near.
Though the tempest rave ad the wild winds blow.
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
4.
It will surely hold in the floods of death.
When the waters cold chill our latest breath.
On the rising tide it can never fail.
While our hopes abide within the veil.
5.
When our eyes behold, in the dawning light.
Shining gates of pearl, our harbour bright.
We shall anchor fast to the heavenly shore.
With the storms all past forever more.
Chorus.
We have an anchor that keeps the soul.
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll.
Fastened to the Rock that cannot move.
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love.
Praise the Lord!
