These encouragements have been rolling around in my heart and mind for several weeks.

Very strongly since the beginning of 2021.

I thought I would share them with you here.

Do not let your heart be troubled neither, let it be afraid. John 14:27

Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27_b

Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble. Psalms 119:165

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.

Refrain:

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood support me in the whelming flood; when all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

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

Written by Rev. Edward Mote 1834.

Until next time …
