The Solid Rock

If you haven’t sung “The Solid Rock” recently, why not visit it again? I think its words will strengthen your appreciation of the security you have in Christ. Security is elusive everywhere else. The stock market is shaky, the cost of living is climbing, global terror is unsettling, and humanistic philosophy is empty. Nevertheless, Christ, the Rock, is stable. He is indeed our solid Rock, whereas all other rocks are sham-rocks.

Even when our faith falters, our “Solid Rock” remains stable and secure. We may tremble on the Rock, but the Rock never trembles under us. Jesus gives us meaning in what so often appears to be a meaningless world. He gives direction in an aimless world, indestructible hope in hopeless times, steadfastness in shaky times, and perseverance in perplexing times.

“On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand—
All other ground is sinking sand.”
