We are all called to make this a more compassionate and just world.

Matthew 7:24

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.”

Listening to Jesus’ words means more than just hearing them or believing in them.

That asks nothing of you.

We have to allow his words to settle into our minds and hearts so that they cause us to change.

His words should make a difference in our lives.

Jesus didn’t just leave it at listening to his words.

He said we must act on them.

It would be helpful to make a regular practice of listening to Jesus’ words in scripture.

Then after listening…we need to discern what the words are calling us to do.

What are his words saying to your heart?

When we do this and then take action…Jesus promises that even when the storms of life come…we will be grounded in a solid sense of peace and security.
