Matthew 7:24  Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

In 1834, Edward Mote wrote the hymn "My Hope is Built on Nothing Less." You may know this song, which he intended to describe the "Gracious Experience of a Christian." The same week he penned the words "On Christ, the Solid Rock, I Stand: all other ground is sinking sand" he was met with the opportunity to share them with a dying woman who took great comfort in them.

Whether in fair or stormy weather, we can trust Christ's words from the Sermon on the Mount to be a solid rock for us. And what are these words? To be meek and pure in heart, to not be angry nor objectify others; to forgive others and love your enemies; to pray, to fast, to give alms and to seek after and trust God. To hear these words, and do them, is to build our house on a solid Rock. Christ and his teachings are for us a strong refuge and a steady foundation; all other ground is sinking sand.
