Jesus is the rock, the solid stone on which we stand.
I love the old hymn:
On Christ the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
Christ is the rock.
Psalm 18 in the “Holy Bible From The Ancient Eastern Texts: Aramaic of The Peshitta” by George M. Lamsa has some great truth. It reminds me of our Father’s loving strength and support. And it is all through the Messiah, His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
We will NEVER be disappointed in our hope and trust in Christ.
TNT. It can mean a couple of things, and both are powerful. TNT is confused with dynamite as being the same thing. However, the two are not similar at all. Dynamite is made of an absorbent medium coated in nitroglycerin and wrapped in a holding tube. TNT on the other hand is an actual compound, trinitrotoluene. Due to its relative insensitivities, TNT was deemed to be a safer alternative to dynamite. In other words, TNT needs to be ACTIVATED in order to show its power.
The other TNT is “The New Testament.” This is not only a portion of the Bible text, but the agreement God made with all people through His Son, Jesus Christ.
I have a copy of the “unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united states of America” on my desk. Being a Latin teacher, I like words like “unanimous.” As you can figure out from unicycle, “uni” means “one” [the universe, verto means “turn,” turns as one].

So, these thirteen different states were of “one mind” on overcoming the political oppression they faced and moving ahead as one new nation. What about those of us who are “one new body” in Christ? Can we be unanimous?
Have you ever stubbed your toe because you had no “night light”? God wants us to see where we are going spiritually. Jesus told us about this.
Our greatest joy in life is to know our heavenly Father through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. There is so much we can learn from our spiritual fellowship, full sharing, with our Father through Christ. There is also a lot we DON’T know.
A Christian hymn says “Take it to the Lord in prayer.” The Bible shows us how prayer is a wonderful resource that the Father gives us to do good in this life. It is all through Jesus Christ, His Son.
Psalms 103:1 says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, bless his holy name.” That’s everything we are and can be. I do my best to live that way each day.
Our lives pass on quickly. “Oh how the days go swiftly passing by!” That reminds me of a song written by Stuart Hamblen in 1958:
