There will be cancer, unemployment, loss, rebellious children, ungodly parents, miscarriages, tsunamis, depression, terrorism, persecution, and more. His power to be our cornerstone is made perfect in our weakness, so we trust His power to persevere us through the storms of life, for there willВ be storms. We also sing this song to remember ChristвЂ™s power to uphold us. The apostle Paul applied this truth for us, saying вЂњ no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus ChristвЂќ (1 Corinthians 3:11 ESV). In His death and resurrection, Jesus showed Himself to be the prophesied Cornerstone, despised and rejected by men (Matthew 21:42).

Verse 22 of Psalm 118 is a prophecy fit right into a worship song: вЂњ the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstoneвЂќ (ESV). More than any other, we can rest in this truth. When we sing this song we lay these idols down and confess that Jesus is the only вЂњ name under heaven given among men by which we must be savedвЂќ (Acts 4:12 ESV). We no longer need to be separated from His holiness because we are covered by вЂњJesusвЂ™ blood and righteousness.вЂќ This is our hope, our joy, our foundation.Д®ven still, so often we choose to put our trust in other frames, like other belief systems and idols. But when Jesus died on the cross, вЂњ the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottomвЂќ (Mark 15:38 ESV), meaning now вЂњ we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of JesusвЂќ (Hebrews 10:19 NIV). What this veil did was separate us, GodвЂ™s people, from His presence. In constructing the tabernacle, God instructed Moses to hang a curtain to separate вЂњ the Holy Place from the Most Holy PlaceвЂќ (Exodus 26:33 NIV).
