The parable of the builders, luke 6:46-49
First time i heard the message about the parable of builders, it was shared in the context of serving God. But today, an experience made me realize, actually its not only with serving or doing things for God that we can apply this knowledge, its also in our everyday lives.
As i said in the earlier post, we tend to choose the easy way out in things of life. Ever so often, when we face a hurt in life, we often choose the easy way out, which is holding a grudge against that person, instead of forgiving him. That would be equivalent to building your house on the sand.
Why is that so? Remember from the previous entry, i mentioned that in to often we forget the first verse in the parable, luke 6:46 " Why do you call me Lord,Lord and not do what i say?"
In Matthew 18:21- 35, the parable of the unmerciful servant, Peter asks Jesus "How many times should I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" and Jesus replied " I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times"
Micah 7:18-20
Who is a God like you,
Who pardons all sins and forgives the transgressions
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy
You will have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
Do as the Lord commands, build you house in the rock
Persevere!!
Trust in Him Proverbs 3:8
Cast your burden upon Him Matthew 11: 28-30
He will be faithful to complete the work He begun in you Phillipians 1:6
