Be watchful to hear My Voice and instantly to obey. Obedience is your great sign of faith. "Why call ye Me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say" was My word when on earth to the many who followed and heard, but did not do.
I likened the man who heard and did not do to the man who built his house on the sand. In times of storm and trouble he is overthrown, his house falls.
I likened the man who obeyed Me implicitly to the man who built his house upon a rock. In times of storm he is steadfast, immovable.
Do not feel that by this I mean only the keeping of My Commandments, even the living My Sermon on the Mount. I mean more than that to those who know Me intimately. I mean the following, in all, the Inner Guiding that I give, the little injunctions I speak to each individual soul, the wish I express - and desire to have carried out.
The secure, steadfast, immovable life of My disciples, the Rock Home, is not built at a wish, in a moment, but is laid, stone by stone, foundations, walls, roof, by the acts of obedience, the daily following out of My wishes, the loving doing of My will.
He that heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them is like unto a man who built his house upon a rock, and the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not, for it was founded upon a Rock.
And it is in that Rock-Home, manmade but divinely inspired - the House of Obedience - the truest expression of a disciple's adoration and worship - it is there I come to dwell with My loved one.
Am I not giving you work, hope? Work for the gray days? Just little plain bricks of duties done and My Wishes carried out. All strengthening you and making of your character that steadfast, immovable Christian Character of which My servant Paul spoke and which he urged his followers to have.
Therefore, now amend your ways and your doings,
and obey the voice of the Lord your God. Jeremiah 26:13
and obey the voice of the Lord your God. Jeremiah 26:13

Yeah, these are old shoes that I've been walking in
I'm wearing weary like it's a second skin
I've been looking for a place to lay my head
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I've been wandering
All my life You've been calling me to a home
You know I've been needing, I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house You're building
Yeah, come on
You are a shelter for every misfit soul
We are the four walls and You're the cornerstone
You are, and You're the solid rock that we are built upon
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I've been wandering
All my life You've been calling me to a home
You know that I've been needing, I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house You're building
'Cause in You I find my meaning, yeah
And in You I find my beauty
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I've been wandering
All my life You've been calling me to a home
You know I've been needing
All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger, I've been wandering
All my life You've been calling me to a home
You know I've been needing, I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house You're building
Lay me in the house You're building
In the house You're building
