And
So, Lord,
Where
Do I Put My Hope?
My
Only Hope Is In You.
Scripture
Psalm
39
Observation
There
are so many reasons to read a Psalm every day or at least very often.
If and when you find yourself tired, weary, and empty, when you are
discouraged, when you are down in the pit, that is the perfect time
to read in the book of Psalms.
Look
at all the verses that I found on hope, just from Psalms, and I could
have shared even more!
You
and I desperately need hope! This world is brutal! If we stray away
from God's Word we could quickly begin to think that things are
hopeless.
Lets
not let that happen to us. I sure don't want that to happen to me.
I
especially like where Psalm 130:5 says we find hope, “I
am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.”
Psalm
33:20
We
put our hope in
the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
Psalm
31:24
So
be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in
the Lord!
Psalm
39:7
And
so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is
in you.
Psalm
42:11
Why
am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in
God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
Psalm
62:5
Let
all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is
in him.
Psalm
94:19
When
doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and
cheer.
Psalm
119:114
You
are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.
Psalm
130:5
I
am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in
his word.
Application
The
first thing I will do in the morning is spend time in God's Word. And
when for some reason I can't read in the morning I will read God's
Word at night, but I will be in God's Word every day.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I was never designed to live my life apart from hearing from
You in Your Word on a daily basis. I was created and designed to be
dependent on You. This world is too brutal to live in it apart from
You. Things are too crazy. I would be hopeless without an anchor for
my soul.
Thank
You for giving me hope. Thank You for the thousands of promises that
You have given me to hold on to when life gets tough. You have shown
me in Your Word how my story is going to ultimately end. You have
given me hope.
