This is the fourth of 17 weekday episodes this Advent season that will link bible passages for the day with a Sustainable Development Goals that 193 countries adopted to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda to be achieved by 2030.

Today's quotations are from Matthew 7:24-27

 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Today's reflection is on Sustainable Development Goal number 9: Build Resilient Infrastructure, Promote Inclusive and Sustainable Industrialization and Foster Innovation.
