It's been a couple of weeks now since, I am a bit embarrassed to say, that our Michigan winter put me on my backside. I had gone out to do chores when I was distracted by a few deer grazing in my front yard. Knowing my driveway was icy I was watching my step, but for that moment of looking at the deer, I forgot. Next thing I know, my feet were not on solid ground and I was looking to the sky. Now be honest....how many of us have experienced this? Not only in our physical life but in our spiritual life as well. We are just going along, living this life and suddenly we end up on our backside looking to the sky. Could be any number of things that put us there but what is important is that we get back up and look to our firm foundation, Jesus Christ. Living in this world there will most certainly be trials, temptations and distractions making for very slippery slopes or even sinking sand. There is a hymn that reminds us that our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus. He is our solid rock on which we stand when all other ground is sinking sand or on any given winter day in Michigan, a very icy driveway.
Blessings

​“My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less” (LSB 575)
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim
But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In ev’ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the raging flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When he shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in him be found,
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
