there is no guarantee

 “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. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27)
Good intentions . . . . Great expectations . . . Noble plans . . . As the school year begins, many are laying out goals and plans just as many do on New Year's Day! Yet despite our best efforts, there is no guarantee that we will accomplish those plans. We live in an ever-changing and truth be told, a dangerous world! The economy may collapse quickly. Terror attacks occur daily. There is a new disease discovered. Even death may come knocking!

Yet there is a safe, secure and solid Foundation in Whom we can place not only our plans, but our lives! While unexpected and tragic things may still occur, His love and His sacrifice upon the cross secures our soul. His love will never fail and His plans are perfect for us! As we place our trust in Him alone, we are, in fact, guaranteed security, not in this life, but for eternity!



Where is your faith today? (Isaiah 58:11)
