Luke 6:   [Jesus taught:]
47 All those who come and listen and obey me are like a man who builds a house on a strong foundation laid upon the underlying rock.
48 When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm, for it is strongly built.
49 "But those who listen and don't obey are like a man who builds a house without a foundation.
When the floods sweep down against that house, it crumbles into a heap of ruins."

1 Peter 2:
4 Come to Christ, who is the living Foundation of Rock upon which God builds;
though men have spurned him, he is very precious to God who has chosen him above all others.
(The Living Bible)

Heavenly Father,
today I commit myself to be one of those who come and listen and obey You.
If there's any area of my life where I'm not obeying You fully,
please teach me co-operate with You to change in that area.

I want to be like the man who builds his house - the house that is his life - on Your strong foundation,
laid upon the underlying Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord, the flood waters are rising against my life at this time,
and I need to stand firm in You.
I don't want to be like those who don't listen to You
and who don't obey You and their life crumbles into a heap of ruins,
because they refused the Lord Jesus Christ and dismissed Your love and salvation.

Today I put my life in the hands of Christ,
who is the living Foundation of Rock upon which You want me to build my life.
Lord Jesus Christ, I put my life in Your hands.
Thank You for receiving me,   Amen.
