Jesus commended the wise builder for preparing to be safe in severe storms by building his life on obedience to God's Word, Mt. 7: 24-25. The first step of being safe is to put our trust in the Lord. The Bible teaches that He "overshadows" His people. He is our protective covering. The Bible says, "The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but safety is of the Lord" Prov....

They are put in a variety of uncomfortable positions and appear much different (seemingly humiliated) afterwards.
