The wise man built his house upon the rock(x3), and the rains came tumbling down. (Do you know the song?) The rains came down and the floods came up(x3), but the house on the rock stood firm.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand(x3), and the rains came tumbling down. The rains came down and the floods came up (x3), and the house on the sand went SPLAT!

The story, told by Jesus in Matthew 7:24-27, is instruction from the Lord to hear and DO what is commanded in scripture. The wise man builds upon his obedience to the word of God. Faithfulness, joy (rejoicing in the Lord - even in adversity), trust, and long-suffering become building blocks for your life. The foolish man builds on lies, deceit, unfaithfulness, and laziness. The result of this building yields a structure doomed to failure.

So build your house on the Lord, Jesus Christ (x3) and the blessings will come down.
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up (x3) so build your house on the Lord.
