We were privileged to go to the beach last weekend. The girls loved it. One of our favorite parts of the beach was "The Rock". This was a rather large rock up on the shore. The younger girls would run out into the water and wait for the waves. As the wave covered their feet, they would run as fast as they could onto the safety of the rock.
Ready, Set, Go!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, it is going to get me!
Ohhhhh, Safe at last!
Isn't life just a little like this beach day? We get tumbled about by the waves of our trials. We sometimes get stuck in the sand. We trip and we fall. But we can be safe at last when we anchor ourselves on the Rock that is our Savior Jesus Christ.
- I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
- He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
There is an old Christian hymn that says it so well.
"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874
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.
