Proverbs 10:25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

One of the big temptations we have is looking for the buzz or excitement in life. We try to seek out where we can get the next buzz from rather than trying to make peace.

No you certainly are not alone in thinking that you still do like it now and again even as a Christian!

Look at a bit of history though. The evil people do not make that big an impact on history as the good people do. Each generation looks to find excitement in its own generation and not by reading books about it.

Evil is very harmful, but it has no staying power!

Proverbs 10:23 To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom.

When people get up to mischief, we can be sure that they are treating it much like a sport and not looking at the consequences of their actions.

And let’s be honest, we have all been there, done that and have the T-shirt; so no turning round and blaming others – look inside your own life first of all.

When we do begin to understand consequences and to look at how much we hurt other people when we do wrong, we begin to gain understanding of life; or wisdom.

I know I have had to learn for a very long time before I have gained any understanding; but I thank God He is persistent in teaching me!

Luke 6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

In order to build a house that is going to stand up to the very worst that the weather can throw at it, we should aim to build it on the best possible foundations.

Lighthouses are built on rocks, not just to warn ships away from those rocks, but because they have a better chance at surviving!

For us to survive in life we should build our lives on the best foundation… and that is love, the love that Christ has shown us from the beginning.
