“My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less” – Now Think On This by Steve Martin

March 6, 2020

“When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee – God can’t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.”  Hebrews 6:17-20, THE MESSAGE

Do you know what we can have each day? Hope! And what kind of hope? A hope in the ETERNAL God, the Savior of our souls, the One Who (even better than President Trump) has made promises and keeps them! (Sorry, I just had to add that political part…to see if you were awake.)

I woke up this morning knowing that even though I have been “quarantined” from my uptown Charlotte accounting contractor job for 14 days after my return trip to India on Feb. 21, 2020, (for having a cough that I have had for years, as my good wife Laura Jean can attest to); I ended up in ER two days ago for rectal bleeding; and previously on Monday I had to make the decision to cancel a gathering the Lord had given me as an assignment to again attempt to do, back in October 2018, after a year and a half of preparation (canceled due to facing an $8,000 cost with only 11 registered with less than a month to go)…

He has given us ETERNAL HOPE!

And as the old hymn still sings, “My hope is found on nothing less!”

Read the words from the hymn, “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less (On Christ The Solid Rock)” by Robert Critchley

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness

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

When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

His oath His covenant His blood
Supports me in the ‘whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

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

Yes, my friends, we will always have the hope BUILT on nothing less than Jesus Himself. That is our eternal guarantee for those of us who believe and keep our eyes fixed on Him.

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV

Nothing less!

Now think on this.

Even To These

Now Think On This by Steve Martin

“And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'” Matthew 25:40, NKJV

The journey is complete. The Lord has directed my steps. I have gone in obedience and shared His truths to those in the remote areas of India. In my part of the world, this region of India would be considered the “backwoods”, as is a most common expression in the USA where I live.

By car the journey was 4 hours one way, into a state of the country that Pastor John Ebenezer said was not safe for us to spend the night. Being we needed two days to be with the church pastors in this region, we thus had to make two trips on consecutive days.

Formerly the communists had taken over this far countryside of the southeastern region of India. One of the terrorists who came from that ideology had been hunted down by the Indian government after a bounty had been put on his head. He was found and killed. Thankfully his younger brother did not follow in his footsteps. This one now plays the keyboard in the church meetings for worship, after getting saved five years ago. He is serving the purposes of God where darkness ruled prior.

We each have a choice, and road, to choose. Some choose death. Others choose life, by acknowledging the Lord Jesus as Savior and King.

Even to these the Lord reaches out His hand and heart, to bring them into His Kingdom. Even to these, where computers are rarely found, the people live in two-room homes, and 10 rupees (less than $1.50) are a sacrificial gift in the church offering. How precious they are in the Lord’s plans and purposes.

I asked myself, knowing others too ask, “Why come 17 hours by air, then drive another 8 hours from Hyderabad by car to spend time with these ones?”

Jesus went out of His way to spend time with the Samaritan woman. He chose to travel on foot from Jerusalem to the northern parts of Israel. He sought those who would receive His Word, obey, and walk in the life He has to come, now and forever.

That is why. I follow His example.

Those with the large following wouldn’t do this. Their time may be more well spent in reaching the masses. If the Lord has called them to this, then they do well to walk in that calling.

As for me, He has given me this open door, to go to those who have no TV, no large gathering venues outside of a crop field, or who do not have the means to travel the distance where others would gather to hear the Word. So, He sends me to them.

As we each do our part in fulfilling the call of the Lord on our life, He will direct our steps, He will provide the means, and He will see to it that those who hunger and thirst after Him will receive the teaching, the gifting, and the hope He desires to give to all.

Go where He sends you. Do what He tells you. Reach those who also who need to hear His full gospel. Whether to the ones in your backyard, your business office, your school, or to those who reside in the ends of the earth.

Now think on this.

Greetings.

I have been in India the last 9 days, returning home late Friday night to Charlotte, North Carolina. The time spent with over 150 pastors in 2 conferences, plus 2 more church meetings, enabled me to share the love of the Lord Jesus, His plans and purposes for Israel and the Jews, and how Christians owe a debt to the Jews for tthat which they have passed onto us from God the Father - the Bible, the Prophets, and most important of all, Yeshua HaMasiach, Jesus Christ. 

These Jews, who stood all through these centuries, in the midst of persecution and death, were still being lights to the nations, through the feasts, their obedience to God, and preserving the life He seeks to give all believers in His Son, Jesus.

Enjoy these few photos I share here. Also, look at the over 50 short videos we have on our YouTube channel, Walk With Me -, Steve Martin in India

As Christians, we owe the Jews a huge debt - for the Bible, the Prophets, and most importantly for the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, Yeshua HaMashicah, who was, is, a Jew.

The Christian church has NOT replaced Israel and the promises to the Jews. But as we believe, in Jesus, we are the wild branch grafted into the olive tree.

Thank You, Lord Jesus!
