Standing Firm


When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

Remember the analogy in yesterday’s devo?  The dark clouds grew heavy until they became absolutely dangerous and the storm broke loose…until the floods came…and the foolish man’s house washed away.  There’s a little song I sang as a child:

The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand…and the rains came a tumbling down….
And the house on the sand went “Splat!”

The wise man built his house upon the rock
The wise man built his house upon the rock
The wise man built his house up on the rock….and the rains came a tumbling down…
And the house on the rock stood firm

The rains fall on all of us, but for one it’s a dark dreaded storm of destruction, and for the other it’s a storm that leaves us unharmed – solid and immovable.

Don't get swept away with the storm.  Let His righteousness be a refuge for you.
