“And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.” Psa 39:7
We are all guilty of placing
our hope at times in a myriad of opportunities and situations that only prove
to offer fading and perishing results. As
long as you seek and place your hope in anything other than the promises of
God, you have not lived in true hope. Hope is the means for expectancy when
things are otherwise hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. If matters are hopeful,
hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything around you are
hopeless that hope begins to be your strength. Then you know your hope is in
and of God! Hope in God is like a spiritual buoy, as long as you are anchored
to it no matter how high the waves get or the storm prevails it will never be
overcome and will weather the storm and stay afloat (Heb 6:19). It’s when you see something else that appears
more promising and helpful, and let go of God that you find yourself truly hopeless
in the storms. God’s purpose will always prevail; sometimes
the plight of his plan might be painful, but his promises to protect are
perfect. Remember, God didn’t remove the
Red Sea from before the Israelite’s he opened it for them to go through; not
avoid it. The unknown future that worries you, is in the hands of the all-knowing
God.
There’s always hope, because
there is always God!
