Matthew 7:24-25
“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.”
~ Matthew 7:24-25Jesus told a parable about two builders. One built on rock, the other on sand. Both houses looked fine on a sunny day. But when the storm came, and Jesus said when, not if, only the house on the rock stood firm. The difference was not the storm; it was the foundation.
As you prepare for marriage, you are laying the foundation of your future home. This is the most important work of your engagement season. Not the venue, not the dress, not the guest list, the foundation. And the only foundation that holds is the Word of God, put into practice daily by both partners.
ECO’s pre-marriage resources are designed to help you build on the rock. Through biblical counsel, prayer, and intentional preparation, you can ensure that when storms come, and they will, your marriage will stand. The question is not whether the wind will blow, but whether your foundation will hold. Build wisely.
God, help us lay an unshakable foundation. When storms come, let our marriage stand firm on Your Word. Amen.
