Phil. 4:13
13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Matthew 7:24-27
24 Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock.
25 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on solid rock.
Matthew 7:24-2726 Anyone who hears my teachings
and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand.
27 The rain poured down, the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Finally, it fell with a crash.
