Building on the Rock

Matthew 7:24-25

Today’s Scripture

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

~ Matthew 7:24-25

Reflection

Every house needs a foundation, and the quality of that foundation determines whether the house stands or falls. Jesus is not merely offering helpful advice in this parable, He is issuing a life-or-death warning. Build on My words, and you will stand. Build on anything else, and you will fall.

For engaged couples, this teaching could not be more relevant. You are literally in the process of building a house, not just a physical home, but a relational one. The decisions you make now, the habits you form, the conflicts you learn to navigate, the spiritual practices you establish, these are the bricks and mortar of your foundation.

ECO’s pre-marriage resources help couples lay that foundation deliberately and biblically. Do not leave your foundation to chance. Study the Word together. Pray together. Seek godly counsel. Learn to communicate with honesty and grace. A marriage built on the rock of God’s Word can weather any storm that comes.

Prayer

Lord, help us build our marriage on the solid rock of Your Word. May our foundation be unshakable. Amen.
