SAID a little child, who was busy on the seashore with her little spade and bucket, to her father, “Father, it is much easier to build a house upon the sand than upon a rock.”
“Yes,” he replied,” for when you build upon a rock you have to lay the foundation right into the solid rock, and then house and rock become one. There is no trouble necessary in laying a foundation in the sand; with your little wooden spade you can easily do that.”
Reader, mind your foundation. Are you building on the sand, or in the Rock?
“My hope on nothing less is built
Than Jesus, and the blood He spilled;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on His great Name:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand―
All other ground is sinking sand.”
