In his name the nations will put their hope.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Not their stock markets, 

not supply chains,

not affordability of housing or food, not their defense budgets. 

In times of volatility with near infinite security variables in the balance, the nations whose plurality keeps Christ at the center of their flourishing will prosper. 

Not in worldly assets,

not in peace through strength, not even in treaties of peace crafted between embittered rivaling nations.

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is sinking sand.

All glory to the One who has enabled nations of freed men and women to sing, speak, and have their being fixed not on things of this world but on the one to come.
