Listen

Everybody who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise builder who built a house on bedrock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It didn’t fall because it was firmly set on bedrock.

Matthew 7:24-25

Think

Jesus told a story about two builders. One built on sand—fast, easy, looked totally fine at first. The other had to dig. And dig. And dig some more—pushing through layers of sand until he found solid rock strong enough to hold everything he was going to build. Not as fun. Definitely not as quick. But it mattered because sand feels solid… until it doesn’t.

You probably already know about God. But this is where things go deeper. This is where you stop just going with what you’ve heard and start asking real questions—the kind that don’t always have easy answers.

What do I actually believe? Who is God, really? Can I trust this?

Digging looks like reading, learning, and having honest conversations with people who take faith seriously. It’s choosing not to settle for shallow answers.

Jesus said it’s not just hearing his words; it’s living them. So keep digging. Because as you do, you’ll find it: God, your solid rock, steady and strong enough to hold your whole life.

Question to Ponder:

Why do you think it’s easier to stay on the surface instead of asking hard questions?

Pray

God, help me go deeper than what’s easy. Give me courage to ask real questions and not settle for quick answers. Teach me what’s true, and lead me to what will actually hold my life. Be my solid rock when everything else feels unsure. Amen.

Go

Go. You’re ready.

Start practicing today. Look for one simple way to build your life on God.

Start small. Pay attention. Notice where God is already at work.

God is with you, always.

And even the smallest step of faith can begin to grow something strong.
