"And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Matthew 8.2Contrary to what suffering religious people and people in general have believed, the LORD God, through His Son Jesus, has shown that the source of fresh water cannot flow bitter water too. The leper thought so, so he said "if you are willing." But God always wants the best for everyone.

Foolish
“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7.26-27
The problems faced by the prudent are similar to those of a fool. The difference is that the prudent is unshakable, stands firm forever, whereas the fool cannot stand it and collapses. Worse: great is his fall. The ruin goes beyond physical loss, but concerns to the loss of his soul.

Prudent
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." Matthew 7.24-25
Building a house on the rock requires more time, money and overall effort. However, once ready, nor even tsunamis are not able to bring it down.
The same applies to one who builds his life on Jesus. That is, listening and practicing His Word.

The wise
"Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like." Luke 6.47
Wisdom is a virtue that few possess. Not because it is only available to a few people. But because few are willing to pay the price to acquire it.
The teachings of Jesus, when practiced, can materialize the impossible dreams. Those who are wise invest in it and reap a lifetime of distinction from the foolish.

Plant that will be uprooted
"Then His disciples came and said to Him, 'Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?' But He answered and said, 'every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted." Matthew 15.12-13
The religious hypocrites do not heed the Word that comes out of the mouth of God. They rather listen to and follow their family traditions. Thus, how could they be free if the knowledge of the Word is what sets one free? Such people are seen as strange plants in the Garden of God, and sooner or later, they will be removed.

Confidence
"My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You." Psalm 5.3-4
How Great You are, O God!
That bends to hear the voice of the most miserable sinner when he pleads honestly. And if He acts like this with the undeserving, imagine those who walk according to Your righteousness.

Afflictions
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." Psalm 34.19
Is it true that the Lord delivers the righteous of ALL AFFLICTIONS?
If you have been righteous in the eyes of God and believe this promise, then you can wait because your deliverance is coming and soon, you will be free.
