During the last few weeks, we have had repeated reminders that we are in an earthquake zone. I heard the other day that New Zealand has multiple quakes every year, most of which are never felt by the majority of the population. Whilst in Auckland, we reassuringly read that the Sky Tower has been built to withstand a massive earhquake. That ‘s remarkable, but let’s pray it never has to be put to the test.
Jesus taught that, in life, as in construction, foundations matter. Quakes of differing magnitude will hit you. It’s not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’. When the ground shakes you will find whether or not you are building on something substantial. Jesus taught that only His Words will keep you standing in life’s shaking times. And it’s not just hearing them but doing them.
So stay tuned to Jesus and remember His mother’s words: ‘Whatever He says to you do it.’
