OUR HOPE

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth 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

King James Version

Pastor Edward Mote wrote one of my very favorite hymns “My Hope Is Built”.  I am so glad that the words in this hymn are true.  “My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ name.”  Yes, we can trust Jesus because He never fails. 

What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know we can trust Jesus.  The question we need to ask ourselves is “Can Jesus trust me?”  Can He trust us to put Him first in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do?  After all that our precious Saviour has done for us, how can we do less than serve Him?
