Today I want to share with you about two types of people—the wise and the foolish.
The wise person proclaims the Word of God and keeps it in his heart and builds his spiritual house on the rock which is Jesus Christ. That means that even when the problems, afflictions and criticisms come, no matter how difficult they may be, he is firm on the rock that is Jesus and nothing can separate him from the Lord.
The foolish person rejects the discipline and correction. He builds his spiritual house on the sand and when we say that the storms destroy his house because there is no foundation it means that any criticism or problem drives him away from the Lord and this is not pleasing to God He wants us to build our houses on Jesus Christ.
Take care to build your house on the rock.
-Nohemí Meléndez
-Proverbs 14:1-3
The wise woman builds her house,
but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
He whose walk is upright fears the LORD ,
but he whose ways are devious despises him.
A fool’s talk brings a rod to his back,
but the lips of the wise protect them.

Each of us has been chosen by God for a mission. But regrettably, we forget that and plan the calendar according to our needs, forgetting that God has a purpose for our lives. We were not created to live lives full of nothing, but to live lives full of meaning, of service to Him.
The key to all of this is to have a life that is focused on God, so let us concentrate on working with the talents that God has given us, working for God as He wishes, and no as we would like or as others want us to work. This is how we can give Him abundant fruit, knowing that our successes come from Him and are for Him.
-Betty Hernández
-Matthew 25:29
For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
