 Plant
our feet on the Solid Rock
Everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice is 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. Them the rain came down,
the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat
against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
(Matt. 7:24-27)
