Feeling overwhelmed?
Consider these words:
“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”. (Matthew 7:24)
Jesus spoke of two builders: one who built his house on the foundations of rock and the other who simply built his house on sand. It was inevitable that the house without foundations would collapse when a severe thunderstorm came. And that is what happened
Jesus used this to illustrate the importance of building our lives upon a proper foundation, in order that we should not be overwhelmed by the pressures, tensions and struggles which can be a part of everyday life.
The truly wise man is the one who puts his trust in Jesus. He knows that Jesus will be there to help him when there is a gander of being overwhelmed by troubles. The wise man’s faith becomes the very foundation of his life.
God himself has declared, “No, there is no other Rock; I know not one” (Isaiah 44:8). If you are being swamped by problems which threaten to overwhelm you, why not start building your life on Jesus with Him right at the centre?
Prayer:
Almighty God, I am so vulnerable because I panic when I think I am going to be overwhelmed by a crisis. I need something or someone I can really trust. I will ask Jesus to be my rock: I believe that only He can be the rock I need.
AMEN.
