The Bank on the Rock versus the Sand Bank
A devotional essay contrasts trust in the Rock Bank with reliance on the Sand Bank during hard times. It references biblical images from Jesus and scripture such as Matthew 7 24 28 and warns that building on sand fails when crises hit while building on the Rock offers lasting security. The piece likens modern financial fear to biblical parables and moral choices.
