Wise and Foolish

I saw some photos yesterday of houses seriously damaged by storms in Ballito. It made me think of the passage below:

Luke 6.46
"'Why do you call me Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it because it had been well built.
But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

What a graphic illustration of Jesus's point in the Bible.

I need to listen and do what Jesus says, not just look at other people and think they are foolish when in fact I may be doing the same thing.
