The Wise And Foolish Builders

Today is Hari Raya Haji and I spent the whole day slacking at home sleeping, watching tv and the most 'amazing' thing.....reading the Bible. It's one thing I know it's important and urgent but many a times, I would just kick it aside. Nevertherless, I read some verses that I felt it is appealing to some of us.

Luke 6: 46-49
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

The verses not only relates to christians but I believe that it applies to all the people in all areas of our lives regardless in our works or studies. It's important to laid a strong foundation in every thing we do as it will result in the results it produces.
Last but not least, one area that I would want to improve on is to listen twice as much as I talk. It's important to learn to listen rather than to speak our own views. It's not going to be easy but I would want to work on it.
