​27. Rock vs Sand (Just some thoughts to ponder!)

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” (Matthew 7:24-27)

The Red Lion Amaryllis in the photos above is in my flower garden. It has survived many storms. In fact, it survived the treacherous
storm last night. I think it is more beautiful after each storm.

This flower caused me to examine my appearance before, during, and after experiencing a storm in my life. Below are some questions I pondered.
  • Do storms cause me to lose my focus, or do I stand firm in my faith?
  • Am I bitter or better after encountering a storm?
  • Does my outward expression reflect my faith or is worry and/or weariness my new look?
  • When planted in a garden with others, will I take on their characteristics or will they take on mine, that is to say, Christ’s?
  • Am I satisfied with God, that is to say, do I trust Him and the work He is doing or do I complain and criticize His work in my life?
Just wanted to share some thoughts about the storm and the beautiful flower I saw this morning!
