A place to stand in 2010

As 2009 winds down, I’ve had these lyrics running through my head:

This work of God, no work of man
My only hope, my only life
Has given me a place to stand
Has made me love what I despised
- Jeremy Casella, “Cast Away Stones”

My “place to stand” is the righteousness of Jesus reckoned to my account, just as my many sins – and my constant sinfulness – were reckoned to His account and paid for on the Cross.

What’s your “place to stand” in 2010? If it’s not Jesus, your firm foothold will ultimately turn out to be quicksand.
