HAVE YOU BUILT YOUR LIFE ON THE ROCK? What foundation is your life built upon? Your beliefs, your passions and loves, your pursuits… what is your guiding principle?

In Christ’s sermon on the mount, we learn something about persistence in prayer and more importantly, about the goodness of the Father in answering. Jesus taught His followers to be persistent in “asking, seeking and knocking.” Then, He revealed the Father’s heart by comparing the good gifts that even sinful parents give their children with how much more the Heavenly Father will give good gifts to those who ask Him (Matt. 7:11).

The currency of the kingdom is asking. As the apostle James wrote, “You have not because you ask not” (James 4:2).

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock” (Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV)
