Let us Build the House well!

1st Week Advent
Thursday
Isa 26:1-6
Meditation
For those passionate about
something and for those who have victory, they can make one proud and forget of
their humble state. Victory can also give good self-esteem and help build good
character and life. Those who have experienced victory, blessing and
the grace of God can have steadfast minds. They enjoy peace and trust in
the Lord. Vaine glory and vain victory only destroy the person. Blessed are those who are faithful in their thought and action. Such an attitude leads the
person to joy, contentment, happiness and Divine peace. The saviour who will be
born will bring peace of heart and mind to the world and people.
Do we long to have a steadfast
mind?
Gospel: Mt: 7:21, 24-27
Meditation
Let us Build the House well!
“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. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, yet it did not fall because it had its foundation
on the rock. But everyone who hears
these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man
who built his house on sand. The rain
came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell with a great crash.” (Mt 7:24-27)
We may think the days when houses
collapsed due to rain are gone. We know our houses are built with good
foundations. In these modern times,
houses come down due to poor construction methods and cheap
materials. We must use sound systems and
advanced technology to have a strong house.
A house is where we live; another house we can speak of is our precious
life, which lives in our body. If we do
not build our house on a strong foundation of faith, we will be destroyed. The foundation for life to be strong in Jesus
is a life of faith. If we have faith, we
can move mountains and uproot trees. Let us build our lives on faith in Jesus.
Do I build my house of faith
well?
