My Hope

Jeremiah 14:22 "Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, O LORD our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this."

Psalm 33:20-22 "We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you."

Too many of us put our hope in the things of this world. We put our hope in other people even. But what does God's word say we should put our hope in? HIM of course! The rain cannot fall, nor the sun shine, nor the clouds boom without the LORD commanding them to. So why then would we put our hope in anyone or anything else? If our God can calm the seas (Matt. 8:26) what more can He do for our lives! There is so much promise in God's word. I know that if I wait on HIM that my hope is secure. Waiting is having faith and thanking HIM in advance for that which he has already done...we just may not see it yet.

So put your hope in the LORD and wait to receive your blessings that He has promised of those who believe HIM.
