TRUSTING GOD

On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand

That's a truth that I have been reminded of recently. I have had to trust God a lot, because he is sovereign, even though my situation is scary. I know that even though circumstances change, God never changes. The verses I posted earlier have helped me:


But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed yuo;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk though fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
people in exchange for your life.

This has never failed to encourage me. God will never leave me; I can trust him. I am "precious in his eyes, and honored, and he loves me." I can lean on him for support and strength. He will never, never, ever forsake me.


In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my life, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease
my comforter, my All in All
here in the love of Christ I stand

I can see little pieces of truth and comfort in worship songs and in Scripture. God is overwhelming me with grace and peace and comfort. Praise Jesus!
