Be Careful .( 2 Corinthians 6 v 14 )

When I was young we used to sing a little chorus,about a wise man building his house upon a rock, and a foolish man who built his house upon the sand,and how when the rain came the house built on rock stood firm ,but the house on the sand fell down. It ended with the words ,''So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ''. A little chorus relegated to a children's chorus,I wonder if we children understood what that little chorus meant .The words of that chorus were spoken by our Jesus Christ ,we have it recorded in Matthew 7 v 24 ff, and Luke 6 v 46 - 49.There is a connection to these words in Isaiah 28 v 14 - 18.there Israel had made a covenant with Egypt ,Isaiah called it a covenant with death.As one writer points out,'The Egyptians' entire worldview  centered on death and the worship of the gods that governed death. This covenant was a foundation built on sand ,and would result  in disaster. Isaiah declares that the Lord would lay a foundation a stone a tested stone,and whoever believes ,( in it- L X X )will not be shaken. We will continue this the next time,I will end by saying be careful who you join hands with, and who you put your confidence in.
