S – I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them: ⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built.

Luke 6:47–48 CSB

O – There are two principles – hearing God’s words and acting on them.  Both men built houses that were exposed to a flood. That is hearing God’s words and the challenges of daily life or the enemy coming against them.  The action is distinguished between the two houses.  The one who “dug deep”  dug through the sand that the other person was content to stop at when he built the house. This first guy attached to something solid instead of something unstable and fleeting.

A – We need to grow in our relationship with God so we are not unstable in our walk with Him.

R – Heavenly Father, we surrender and worship You today.  We want to go “deeper” with you not just in our knowledge of You but our actions as well.  Give us the strength and courage to go beyond the surface and do the work.
