Spirit is willing, the flesh is weak, only one foundation is solid rock.

Mark 14:38
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Sometimes i find i become saddened and hurt after putting hope on a person. People are weak, and this can be expected, but too often do we put our hope and faith in people and things, and end up disappointed. But there is one that will never fail to keep us strong when we submit to Him.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There is a void that exists in all of us that can be summed up in this song:

Artist: Plumb
Song: God-Shaped Hole



Every point of view has another angle
And every angle has its merit
But it all comes down to faith
Thats the way I see it

You can say that love is not divine and
You can say that life is not eternal
"All we have is now"
But I don't believe it

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And it's a void only he can fill

Does the world seem gray with empty longing
Wearing every shade of cynical
And do you ever feel that
There is something missing?

That's my point of view...


There is only one foundation that can make our faith solid..


Matthew 7:

The Wise and Foolish Builders
24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

"Ian Eskelin The Solid Rock lyrics"

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand

My hope is built on nothing less
Than His righteousness alone
And so I'll stand faultless
Before the throne

When all around my soul gives way
I will lean on Jesus' name

When darkness tries to fill my days
I've got His unchanging grace
Cos' at the cross He said my name
And took my place

When everything comes crumbling down
In Him alone I will be found

My hope is built on nothing less
