Today I passed by two different bird\u2019s nests, violently spilled upon the ground. Nearby the second lay a blue egg, never to burst forth with feathered life. Instantly I realized that yesterday\u2019s high winds had casualties: They swept away both home and offspring for more than one bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mind shifted to a biblical application: During \u201cinteresting\u201d times this one thing is of utmost importance\u2014upon what have you been building your \u201chome\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you basing your decisions and hopes on shifting sand (or vulnerable, branching outliers of popular thought)? Or are you building your life on the solid, wind-resistant bedrock of the One who created the wind, ground, rocks, and branches?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His Word is a sanctuary in times of peace; during the storm. His Word is a living refuge of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be cautious as you build. The winds are blowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
