Jenga has to be one of the most common, yet phenomenal, games in the world. There's nothing like the pressure you can put on your opponent as you strategically slide a small block of wood out of the middle of a tower and make the entire structure wobble like Aunt Bessie on the dance floor. Before you know it . . . BOOM! It falls, and you win. Something so simple, essentially playing with blocks, can have an entire room engaged. That's because we are all fixated on the intricate balance of the tower's foundation.
As Jesus teaches us the parable of the housebuilders, He's reminding us it is important to take root in Christ. After all, a strong tree is only as good as its deep roots to keep it grounded. If we don't, He's letting us know our spiritual houses (our spiritual lives) won't be able to stand when it really counts. We can, at times, be shaken. What counts is that we do not fall. Homes and buildings in earthquake-prone areas are built on rollers so that the building won't crumble but roll with the quakes.
What has shaken you lately, and what truths are grounding you?
