"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." - Matthew 7:24

As a single Christian woman, navigating life’s twists and turns can sometimes feel a little shaky. There are numerous expectations around relationships, career paths, and personal growth while you seek to live out your faith authentically. However, today’s scripture invites us to build our lives on a solid foundation. In Matthew 7:24, Jesus says, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock."

This verse encourages us not just to hear God’s Word, but to actively apply it in our daily lives. Think about it: how often do we hear an inspiring sermon or read an uplifting verse, but as soon as life gets busy or challenging, those teachings seem to slip away? Building your house upon the rock means integrating those powerful truths from scripture into your very being and how you live your daily life. It’s about nurturing a relationship with God that transforms you from the inside out.

Consider Meghan, a single woman who started a new job but faced a difficult work environment. Instead of succumbing to negativity or gossip, Meghan decided to focus on her mission as a follower of Christ. She often reminded herself of Colossians 3:23, which instructs us to work heartily, as for the Lord. By refusing to let her circumstances dictate her attitude and instead relying on her faith, Meghan stood out positively. She became a source of encouragement for her colleagues and found unexpected joy in her work, proving that a strong foundation in faith yields fruit even amid storms.
