Wise or Foolish. [ Matthew 7 v 24 ff ]

We have not had much rain for a while,but things have changed this week,and I watched the rain falling,a little chorus came to mind about the wise man and the foolish man in Matthew 7 v24ff, Jesus stressed  the importance of not only hearing Gods word ,and putting it into practise..He tells us if we only hear the word and do not act upon it we are foolish and heading for trouble,but if we hear the word of God and act upon it then all will be well.We might know the word of God,be a good sound
evangelical,and fail to live out what one knows,we are fools.Likewise if we
have heard the gospel,and fail to respond to it,we are fools,and heading for disaster.In Psalm 1,we are told the wicked,the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement[v7 ],Plummer writes,/ To stand is to maintain ones cause,to hold ones own,to be unhurt and unterrified.But in the last day the wicked will
have no confidence,no comfort,no support/. Like the foolish people who build their houses upon the sand the whole structure will come crashing down upon their heads.

Dear God help us to be not only hearers of your word,but doers,lest we be classed as fools,in Jesus name Amen
