My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

S ~ “Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, their righteousness would save no one but themselves, says the Sovereign Lord.”  ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭14:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

O ~ Noah was righteous in the midst of a generation God was about to destroy - Daniel was righteous in Babylon, and Job was righteous in his time.  There were none like these 3 men during their lives.

A ~ To be righteous when no one else is - and to find grace when no one else does. Clearly you can live right before God when no one else does, but it may be more rare than we can imagine. It’s why we need Jesus - He Who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

P ~ Lord, thank You for declaring me righteous in this generation, because of what You have done. May I live differently than the world, talk differently than the world, think differently from the world - in my generation - because You have made me righteous.

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
