 A personal testimony of something the Lord has been teaching me:

As a young lady, I often think that I need to make sure to build my life well.  As I have been reading through

the Psalms lately, I came upon this verse:

"Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."  Psalm 127:1

My life is like a house that I am building little by little each day, and the final product of my life will last for eternity.  This verse shows that unless the Lord is doing the work, it is all in vain.  This encourages me to ask the Lord to be building my life in the fashion that He wants it and not try to micro-manage every detail in my own power.  I am reminded of this hymn, "On Christ, the Solid Rock, I Stand", because Jesus Christ is my stability and the only sure thing that I can put my trust and hope in.  He already knows every detail of my life and He will be with me through all things....Praise the Lord!

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

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

When darkness seems to hide His 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.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
