Jesus said that whoever would hear his words and do them would be like a person who builds a house on a rock. The storms come and beat against the house, and the house stands.
We would have preferred that he would give us the magical spiritual formula to keep the rains away. But Jesus does not offer us shamanism and rain dances.
We would have preferred that he would give us wind and rain insurance, so that whenever our house fell we could rebuild it quickly and easily and at no personal expense.
Instead, he gave us a foundation. And he gave us a promise. The winds are coming. The rains are coming. But if we will build on the right foundation, when the clouds part, we will still be standing.
