Matthew
7:21, 24-27
Jesus
said to his disciples: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord, will enter
the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in
heaven.
“Everyone
who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who
built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and
buffeted the house. But it did not
collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these
words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house
on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the
house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.

Reflection:
Who do
you listen to in this world? Do you listen to Jesus and shutout what this world
is trying to dictate upon you? When you always listen to Jesus you have an
impregnable anchor that nobody can destroy. Even the strongest of calamities
will not be able to destroy much less discourage you for the simple reason that
you have Jesus in your life.
Often
times we are defeated by our problems, worries and sickness because Jesus plays
no role in our life. What rule our life are the many worldly attachments which
only make our life in this world burdensome and heavy. So when we encounter
trials many of us are not able to withstand it.
Indulgence
with the pleasures of this world makes us fragile physically and emotionally;
it could even make us suicidal. We will be left with nothing except emptiness
which will quickly lead us to nothingness.
Try
making Jesus the anchor of your life and you will see that not even the worst
of problems can defeat you or bring you down. Even the worst sickness will not
be able to conquer you it may conquer your physical being but your spiritual being
will remain strong. And this is for the
reason that Jesus is the rock solid foundation of your life. – Marino J.
