Jesus, Our Firm Foundation

When the foundations are being destroyed,

What can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple;

The Lord is on His heavenly throne.

Psalm 11:3-4

Our primary purpose in life must be to abide in Christ. 

Otherwise we can become so consumed

 with the deteriorating condition of the world 

that we fail to see 

the deteriorating condition of our own soul. 

In His love, the Lord stops us, 

and forces us to look honestly at our heart: 

Francis Frangipane

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;

The flame shall not harm thee; I only design

Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
