Remember a few years ago when they had those terrible floods in Quebec? The damage from raging rivers was unbelievable. Whole towns were wiped out. I think it was in the town of Chicoutimi that an earth dam broke and the main street of the down was a scene of devastation. But from it all there was one photo that stood out. A small frame house sitting on a huge rock, everything around it has been washed away. A graphic picture that speaks so loudly to today’s words of Jesus about building your home on a rock.

This is a true story. A man dropped in to see me one day and told this story. He is in the office cleaning business. He finished one job and was on this way to another. Getting into his car in the underground parking he put the keys to the many offices he cleans on the roof of the car while looked for his car keys. He got into his car drove up from the underground parking and went to the next job which was some distance away. He drove down into the underground parking and got out of his car. There on the roof of his car were his office keys. He’d forgotten all about them and couldn’t believe they’d stayed on the roof during his many twists and turns. He told me he was greatly concerned about his young daughter and the choices she was making in her life. Being a prayerful man he immediately thanked God for caring for his keys. Then he thought to himself, if God can watch over my car keys He will watch over my daughter. This whole experience deepened his sense that God was watching over him and those he loved. This experience deepened his conviction that he was of more value than birds of the air or the lilies of the fields.
