I simply love The Message translation of this verse! Showing the importance of a strong foundation in life as well as under your home! Solid Rock! These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Matthew 7:24 (The Message)
