The Sermon on the Mount ends with a story about foundations. Two people build two houses. On the surface, both look sturdy. But when the storms come, the difference is revealed. One stands firm, the other falls. The difference is not in how much they heard, but in what they did with what they heard. One built on sand, the other on rock.
These 31 days have been an invitation to build on the Rock. We have walked through blessings that turn the world upside down, teachings that cut to the heart, practices that draw us into hidden intimacy with God, and choices that call us to decision. Each day, Jesus has shown us not only how to live, but who we are becoming as citizens of His Kingdom.
The Rock is Christ Himself. To build on Him is not to admire His words from a distance but to live them with Spirit-filled obedience. This is Kingdom character: a life formed by humility, love, purity, mercy, faithfulness, and courage —a life that shines with the light of Christ.
Now the building continues. Storms will come, but the foundation is secure. Stand on the Rock. Live in the Spirit. Let your life reveal the Kingdom of God.
Blessing for Your Journey
Build your life on Christ the Rock.
Hear His words and put them into practice.
Stand firm when storms come.
Shine as a witness of His Kingdom.
Live today —and always —in the power of His Spirit.
