Be wise and build your life on a strong foundation- God.

 Matthew 7:24

“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. 

Hearing the word of God is one thing, but putting it into practice, is more important. This is where obedience comes into play. God expects us to obey His word, to follow it through and align with what He tells us. 

This story/parable that Jesus was teaching in this book of Matthew, was based on two builders, one who built their house on sand and the other one built on a rock. The one who built on sand, it must've been quick and easy, whilst for the one who built on a rock, it must've taken a lot of effort. The bible tells us however, that when the storm came, the one who built on sand, their house was swept away, as it didn't have a strong foundation; whilst the one that was built on the rock, remained safe and secure, when the storm came. This means, in life, we are all bound to face challenges or difficulties, what matters the most, is are we secured in His word as our strong foundation? Definitely those who aren't, who listen to the world, will be in trouble when the storms of life comes.

This shows that the word of God is important, it connects us to our Father, it is life and we can depend on it. Like the bible says, the word was God (in the beginning), it is still the same now, the word is from God. We need to bring ourselves closer to God, by consuming His word, praying and worshipping. He will surely keep us safe during tough times.
