Thursday of the First Week in Advent (Matthew 7:21, 24-27)
A
House Built on Rock (Matthew 7:21, 24-27)
In
this Gospel, Jesus contrasts two builders—one who builds on rock and another on
sand. The one who builds on rock stands firm against storms, while the one who
builds on sand collapses. Jesus teaches that hearing His words and acting on
them is like building on solid rock.
Advent
reminds us to lay a strong foundation for our lives by aligning our hearts with
Christ. When we actively live out His teachings, we create a faith that can
withstand any storm. The invitation is to trust in His guidance and ensure He
is the cornerstone of our lives.
Reflection:
Am I building my life on the solid foundation of Jesus’ words? This Advent, how
can I make room for His teachings to strengthen my heart and guide my actions?
Prayer:
Jesus, be the rock upon which I build my life. Help me to listen to Your words
and live them out, so my faith may remain steadfast in every season. Prepare my
heart to receive You this Advent.
