So, my son and I were talking this morning about the results of the election yesterday. He picked up the guitar and sang and played the following words from a old hymn of the faith. It ministered to me ...maybe it will speak to your heart also.
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and
righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on
Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is
sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging
grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the
veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking
sand.
3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming
flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and
Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking
sand.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be
found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the
throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking
sand.
I "Psalm 20:7" that!
ReplyDeleteA prayer in Iron Men group yesterday morning stated, "The outcome of this election was known to God a long time ago. He isn't wringing His hands over the outcome." May we remember this as we stand on Christ--the Solid Rock.
ReplyDeleteIt was like a wave of silence that came over everyone yesteday. No one was talking about the election results. It seemed to me a quiet peace. I read many "comments" and all rang with the sounds of the words from this song and the Word itself. I felt Gods hand and it is my prayer that we continue this way for the next four years. That will be the greatest testimony of all. Without a grumble, or anxiety, or fear, they will know and see a difference.
