CASTLES IN THE SAND
By Sally I. Kennedy
July 30, 2010
Matthew 6:19,21 "Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths
eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also
be."
Castles in the Sand
Before the sun was up too high in the heavens, and it was hotter than
blue blazes, my grandaughter and I ventured down to the beach.
Right away we noticed a beautiful sandcastle! It had survived the
night somehow. Even though it was intricate and had obviously taken
some time to do, the rising morning tide would surely wash it away.
We can build our lives on many things. Possessions, money, business,
identity. They will all, one day, be washed away. We didn't bring
anything into this world, and we can't take anything out of it –
except our relationship with the Lord. That is forever.
I thought about an action Sunday school song the kids used to sing
( Luke 6:47-79 ) -
The wise man built his house upon the rock… ……and the rain came
tumbling down. The rain came down and the floods came up….…. and the
wise man's house stood firm.
But- the foolish man built his house upon the sand…., and the rain
came tumbling down. The rain came down and the floods came …, …..and
the foolish man's house went SPLAT!!
So -build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ.........and the blessings
will come down. The blessings come down and the prayers go
up........so- build your life on the Lord!!
As beautiful as the sandcastles of our lives may be, they are still
just that, castles in the sand. How awesome we can build our lives on
the love and faithfulness of the Lord and the principles of His Word-
a rock solid foundation.
That is good news.
