So true, Chery. What we see in the world presently has everything to do with the mistakes and miss-dealings of human beings; says nothing about God and what He had in mind upon creating us. Our problem as a race of people is that we haven’t given much care about what God’s Word says as regards how to live this life well and close to Him. That is where peace, joy, love, longsuffering, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control as “fruits of he Spirit” exhibit themselves in our lives. In many, many instances humans are bringing their own roofs down on our heads, preferring to build their houses on shifting sand.
Jesus Christ is the Rock and here is what He taught: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 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. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it”(Matthew 7:24-27).
