Going to Tunisia has given me a whole new perspective on the parable comparing the house-building techniques of wise and foolish men. 
It’s easy to understand the foolishness of building your house (or your life) on the shifting sands of world culture, because that changes with every wind of 
whim, almost imperceptibly eroding away tiny particles of belief until you have no foundation left and everything on which you base your life is left in ruins. 
Much better to build your house on a Rock…or be a city “set on a hill.” 
However, in Tunisia, we also saw many houses in the wilderness 
that were literally built by digging into the rocks! 
This is truly ingenious, because the underground homes 
are cooler and protected from scorching heat and sand-blasting winds. 
We had the privilege of visiting one of these homes on our trip. 
(In fact, one that was used in the Star Wars movies, but more on that later…) 
Today I just want to discuss what life is like in these homes built in the rock.
It takes an average of 3 years to chip away enough rock to build a small home, 
although elaborate homes may have several rooms built off a courtyard.
Life is simple for these people: simple expectations, and simple pleasures. 
An oven is carved out of the rock, just like so many things! 
Water is collected in a little reservoir at the low end of the courtyard. 
Thick, rough-hewn doors protect the occupants at night. 
Not a very glamorous life, but it works for them, 
and I found myself very much admiring the hospitality and pluck of these people 
who survive and have learned to cope with such harsh circumstances
by digging into the rock. 
I think all of us go through some wilderness experiences in our lives.
It’s good to know that we can dig into the Rock and find refuge!
“Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which 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” (Matthew 7:24-25). 
“The Lord is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.” (Psalm 94:22).

The Lord will judge the earth and all men—Blessed is he whom the Lord teaches and chastens—The Lord will not forsake His people, but He will cut off the wicked.
1 O Lord God, to whom avengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou ajudge of the earth: render a breward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked atriumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They aslay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not ahear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The Lord aknoweth the bthoughts of man, that they are cvanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou achastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he aforsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth amischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
