“He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”
They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built — the house on rock withstands the flood because the foundation was laid on rock after digging down deep. The digging down deep communicates the effort required for the solid foundation — it is not the easy or obvious choice but the one that withstands the test. The flood that strikes both houses is the same test — the outcome depends entirely on the foundation.
