In Matthew 7:24-27 we find that the rock to build on is the words of Jesus.

We are to build our houses on the Rock i.e. on Jesus' words. To go a little further, practically, we need to live our lives based on Jesus in order to win despite the storms of life. Storms will come, the winds will blow and beat against our house, but when we have Jesus as our foundation, our house will withstand the storms. As simple as it gets.

What kind of storms are you facing right now? Maybe none, but one was last month and another is coming in a few months (not a prophet). Jesus does not say if the storms will come, he simply tells us how to withstand them when they come.

The key to withstand any storm is to hold on to the words of Jesus.

So, I love the music of Bob Marley - most of his songs. One of them is called 'Small Axe' and actually uses the first part Proverbs 26:27 in the song. 'Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it…'.

I cannot recall why this was on my mind the other day, but the concept of a small axe is huge. A small axe can fell a big tree.

Yes, It will take a long time, but, it will happen once the person swinging the axe continues and does not stop until the tree falls. In fact after a certain point, the axe does not have to do any more work. The wind and gravity will take over.

So don't believe that the tree is too big. The boulder to big, the mountain to huge. We just need to keep doing the things we know we should do and the tree will fall.

The way I see it, it isn't about the axe or the man who swings it, but God who gives man the strength to keep swinging that eventually brings the tree down.

In Genesis 15:1-6 we find God telling Abram (later Abraham) that God is Abram's protector and reward. Mind blowing right? Is God enough for you? Abram was at a place where he had no children but wanted them badly. So even though God says what he said, Abram was thinking - give me children. God takes Abram outside and shows him the stars in the sky. Abram's offspring would be like that i.e. not able to be numbered.

God knew what Abram wanted as he knows what we want. Yet, our main objective in a relationship with God should be our relationship with God. Let God take care of the rest. He knows your desires.
