blew and beat against that house and it fell and great was the fall of it we're being told to place Our Hope on the solid foundation that is Jesus Christ this is because when the forces of evil try to wreak havoc on your life the strong foundation on which your faith is built upon will not be overcome the walls in your life will not be breached when you have built your foundation on the solid rock that is Jesus Christ you are not shaken by the earthquakes of life you are not blown away by The Winds
