Build On The Rock
Show notes
When the storms hit your family, what will they be standing on? The faith you build today can become shelter for your children tomorrow.
Today’s lesson looks at something bigger than any one man: the foundation we’re laying for the next generation. Proverbs 14:26 says the man who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and that fortress becomes a refuge for his children. Your walk with God was never just about you.
In Matthew 7, Jesus describes the wise man who hears His words, puts them into practice, and builds his house on the rock. The rain falls, the streams rise, and the wind beats against it, but it stands. Picture your life as that house, with your children living inside it. Storms will come: hard seasons, disappointments, temptations, moments when they don’t know what to do. You can’t stop every storm, but you can build a house that stands. When your kids see you pray, they learn to run to God when life gets hard. When they see you open the Bible, they learn His Word matters. When they see you forgive, serve, and obey, they learn what following Jesus looks like. Every prayer, every decision, every act of obedience lays another stone. The goal isn’t a perfect home, but a home built on the rock. And if your kids are grown or you regret the foundation you laid, it’s not too late. Start today. Storms don’t decide whether a house stands. The foundation does.
Verse of the Day: Proverbs 14:26

Welcome!
The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world.
Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader. You’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. And you’ll know you’re not standing alone, because men everywhere are waking up to fight the same battle.
Your hosts are Steve Alessi, pastor of Metro Life Church of Miami, FL, along with his son, Chris Alessi, and his sons-in-law Christopher Muina, Christian Calatayud, and Dani Burgos.
