Building on Rock

Jesus told a parable that asks a question: What are you building your life on? The parable illustrates the wisdom of obedience and the foolishness of disregarding Jesus’ words.

As we seek to create a healthier lifestyle, we want to build that lifestyle on the bedrock of Jesus’ teaching, honoring how he made our bodies, minds, and relationships to work. Loving God and our neighbor lies at the core of that teaching. If we put God first in everything we do and invest love in the people around us, we will rest on a solid foundation. The storms of life will inevitably come, but they won’t flatten what we’ve built.

So what’s the foundation of your life and your health? How are you honoring the way God made you? How can you make love more of a priority?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

When the rains and wind of life beat against your house, you will weather the storm with God and his love at the center of your life.
