"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, All other ground is sinking sand." - My Hope is built - Verse 1 by William B. Bradbury.
Each day we move forward in our lives as Christians, and our greatest struggle might be the fact we don't truly trust Christ. What part of our lives are we not giving continual thankful praise to God? Do you thank your Heavenly Father when you wake from your slumber, do you thank him for your health, for the air you breath? Do we trust Him for each step we make? Do we see each choice as a petition for prayer? How much can we trust God to provide for our every need? We've failed on this so many times.
Our heavenly father has provided us with immense blessings, what is our hope built upon? The song by William Bradbury asks that exact question... What is it built on? On nothing less, than Jesus Blood and Righteousness. We should be thankful, extremely thankful, that Christ has paid Our debt, if you place your trust in Him. Our righteousness is built upon Jesus' work on the cross, taking on our punishment. I dare not trust any other sweet sounding scheme, because it's totally on Jesus name we need to lean. The Chorus says it all... Jesus is the Solid Rock, all other ground is sinking sand!
Hope placed in Christ alone will provide a solid foundation to live a life. It doesn't mean we won't suffer, but it does mean our suffering will be used to build the Kingdom of God. Tough times are ahead and there is no reason to trust the things that are fads, that fade with time, and have no true meaning.
