How strong is your foundation? The readings today http://usccb.org/bible/readings/120111.cfm remind us how important having a strong foundation is.
The gospel says that a house built on a rock cannot be destroyed by rain, flood, and wind… Having a strong foundation enables us to withstand these challenges that could destroy others - like a house built on sand.
Who is our foundation? Who is the rock upon we should build our house? The first reading says that the Lord is an eternal Rock. Is it important to trust in Him? the psalm says that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man… How do we build our foundation, The gospel says we should listen AND ACT upon God’s words. It is not enough to recognize God. Satan recognizes God as well – but he does not follow God. We should recognize God and follow His ways. Hindi pwedeng puro realizations. Hindi pwedeng puro lip service. We should act, follow God’s will in our lives.
May we work towards building our house on a rock, a solid foundation.
God bless!
as it is said: don't just say it, do it!
