Built to Stand

Scripture- Matthew 7:25 (ESV) “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.”

Devotional- Storms are not a sign of failure; they are a certainty of life. What matters is the foundation beneath us. A life grounded in the Word of God will face trials, pressure, and uncertainty—but it will not collapse.

Scripture anchors us, not by removing hardship, but by giving us something solid to stand on when hardship comes. When we hear God’s Word and live it out, we become a people who endure—not by strength of will, but by faithfulness to the truth that holds us fast.

Reflection- What has recent pressure in your life revealed about the foundation you’re building on?

Prayer Direction- Thank God for His Word as a firm foundation, and ask Him to help you continue building your life upon it with faith and obedience.
