    “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. 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. 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. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

    Matthew 7:24-27

    Congratulations for making it to the second half of the 40 Days.
    One characteristic of a good learner is integrity: the state of being whole and undivided. There needs to be a healthy wholeness in our spiritual, physical and emotional life. It is built by receiving something in the Scriptures and letting it penetrate everything. The Scriptures speak deeply in order to do their transforming work. Our response is acting upon it. Integrity is the result.
    Jesus said, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” It will stand the test of difficulty because the Scriptures are integrated into life.  Taking action on something that Jesus said, exercises our integrity. The Scriptures are like a mirror, when we see something wrong we try to fix it.
    As you read the Scriptures this week, ask God to show you where there is any difference between the way you are living and the way He thinks is best.

    For Reflection:

    • Is integrity something you find easy or difficult?
    • What does it mean to build your house on the rock?

    Make Life Count:

    • Imagine taking an x-ray of the foundations of your life and imagine a flood coming. How do you think you will cope? Ask Jesus to show you how you could have him become a better foundation.
    • Was there a time where you felt like you were “in a flood” and Jesus helped?

    Tell us

    Hungry for More?

    • Do a web search on “what builds integrity?” Look for some common principles and decide on one that you want to work on.

    Tell us

    Let’s keep undivided in our mission,
