The Sure Foundation

In these days God has spoken to us by his Son Jesus, whom He appointed heir to all things, and through whom He made the universe.  Jesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His Being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word.  After He had provided purification for sins, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God, the Majesty in heaven.

It was in the beginning; Jesus laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of His hands.  You, who are far away, hear what He has done, you who are near your God, acknowledge His power!  For Jesus will be the sure foundation of our times.

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and there should be no fear now, if your feet are planted on  the Rock of His foundation, and you take Him at His word.  The works of God's hands are faithful and just, and He is gracious and compassionate.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and good understanding.  Even in the darkness when you are afraid, and have a raging sea of doubt in front of you, ready to give up and say, "I'm not good enough.  I'm at rocks bottom," Just cry out, "hold me Jesus, come fill up my heart".  He will come to you and there will be no fear in you.

Surrendering to Jesus is not a natural thing.  Instead of taking Him at His word you have been trying to make it on your own, which will lead to frustration and doubt.  Just trust in His great name and there will be no fear and your heart will be secure in Christ Jesus.

Well, where do you go from here?  Jesus said, "If anyone would come follow Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily".  Give Him all that you are and cry out for more.  You owe Jesus your life: and you are in better hands now.

You are on the sure foundation and can sing out:

"When Christ shall come with trumpet sound,
O, may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the Throne".

Jesus is the "Solid Rock" of my salvation.
