Jesus Plus Nothing

Luke 6:47-49 (NLT)

"I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.  It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.  But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

"Are you willing to rest on a single foundation?  Jesus plus something else does not double your security.  It actually takes it away.  The only security is Jesus plus nothing." - Lydia Brownback, Trust


I see the reality of these words in my life.  I see events in the past month that raised my stress level, made me want to control my circumstances, and indicated that my security was not dug deep and laid on the solid rock of Christ.  Now I see myself rebuilding the right way.  I see myself trusting God with things I didn't before, and I know what do to when the rain starts to fall.
