From Paul David Tripp
I love the hymn, My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less. I’m deeply persuaded that its famous refrain is repeated over and over again to catch us each time we try in vain to find hope in sinking sand – “On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand / All other ground is sinking sand.”
God, in love, will allow your fake rocks of situations, people, locations, possessions, positions, or answers to be swallowed up so you cry out for his help. As you struggle through the slippery instability of sinking sand in a fallen world, your weariness should be a sign.
There is a Rock of stability, and his name is Christ.
