That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation
on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because
it had been well built.
Billy Bray had built his life on a rock. Christ's way is the best way. We all know it. That is true of
our lives personally and that is true of the nations of humanity as well. Since we know it, let's
live it with confidence.
(Luke 6.48
NRSV)
There is a wonderful story told about Billy Bray, the Cornish miner turned revival preacher. His
crop of potatoes had not brought much of a return on his effort. As he was digging them in the
fall, Satan was at his elbow saying, "There Billy, isn't that poor pay for serving your Father the
way you have all this year? Just look at those pitiful potatoes." The story goes that Billy Bray
stopped his hoeing and replied, "Ah, Satan is at it again, talking against my Father, bless His
holy name. Why, when I served you, I didn't get any potatoes at all. Why are you talking
against my Father?" Satan left him.
Dear God, build my confidence in you, as I build my life on the rock of Christ. Amen.
