Bedrock

Hab (i): I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint.

Ps 89(xiv): Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

James (xxiv): You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Juke (xxix): They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.

There is an ultimate bedrock on which we can stand and depend. We need not look any further, but only look at what we have and listen to the eternally echoing words.
