Ephesians 3:17b-19: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Magnet Rock

You found it!!!  You found the rock!!  Immediately when I hear the word rock, I think of this song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wDhaAWHjVRM
The song was inspired by Matthew 7:24-29
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” 28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
And after reading these words and hearing this song (even though it is a children's song), we ask you, what is your life built on?  The Hebrew word for "rock" indicates firmness, stability, and faithfulness.  God is truth.  Would you want the "truth" to be anything but stable and unchanging?  Is your life able to withstand the heavy rain, the rising stream, and the blowing winds?  Believing in the truth and having 100% faith in Jesus Christ will be the only way you can weather this storm of life.  Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ!
