Driving past this house last week, I was reminded of a song that we learned in Sunday School as children. Simple words about a wise man and a foolish man. Did we realize the lesson in those words?
As I'm reading my way through a little devotional, Jesus Calling, I was struck with a sentence proclaiming the same truth in another way, "Many people are so preoccupied with future plans . . . that they fail to see the choices they need to make today."
The correlation between Sarah Young's words and the song I was singing reminded me that the choices I make today are forming the foundation for how my house will stand or fall when the storms come. A sobering truth.
For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock." Psalm 27:5

This is a sobering truth for me as well. What a wonderful illustration of the Word!
My grandchildren often ask that we sing that song together. I also read "Jesus Calling" each day and am reminded too. I find that sadly, I do need reminders so often, to keep my perspective where it should be. God often uses you to bless me. Thank you! We will keep singing that sweet little song:)
