Matthew`s Biography of Jesus - The Wise and Foolish Builders
Jesus says, if we hear what he says but don't do it, Jesus says that's like building a house on sand: the winds and the rain are going to knock it down. It's the same in our lives: if we don't put Jesus' words into action our lives come crashing down around us, just like my computer. We end up with stress and worry, driven crazy with lust, plagued with anger, broken relationships, a sense that life isn't about anything other than getting up, going to work, going to bed, and doing it all over and over again. But Jesus says there's a way out of that trap, and it's simple: so simple Nike even uses it as their slogan. Just Do It. That's how Jesus ends his Sermon on the Mount: ?You've heard me. Now go do it.? And if we do, Jesus says we'll be like a house that's built on a rock. We will be able to withstand anything that life throws at us if we will just do what he says to do.

How does building your life on Jesus` words protect you when the storms of life come?
If you follow the teachings of Jesus and become a more kinder, gentler, more loving person you can bend with the storm with the faith that the sun will shine even more beautifully than before.

He is the savior, he takes care of us, we are God`s people and even when bad things happen we know that it will be ok because he will take care of us as long as we are true to him.

Just thoughts
I love these verses.  As a new christian I found these verses very meaningful bc before I found the Lord, everything around me continually crumbled and caused me so much pain, anger, and heart ache.  I still have trials and troubles but I am standing on the rock and have found out that I am now standing on the safe spot the spot that no man or beast can take me from.  This is my safety and security no matter what!  I also have realized that as long as I am on the rock all the things around me that do crumble were never meant to be, that the Lord will provide and take care of me and He will never crumble!

The Wise and Foolish Builders

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
