WHERE DOES OUR HOPE LIE?

“SO BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, ALL YOU WHO PUT YOUR HOPE IN THE LORD!” PSALM 32:24

Where does your hope lie? Just who and what are you trusting each day? Are you putting your trust in your job for your income? Are you putting your trust in your vehicle so that it will start each time you need to get somewhere? Are you putting your trust in those around you to help you out in your time of need? Each and everyone of us needs to step back and take a hard look at where are hope and trust truly lie. If we are trusting in the things around us, then we are destined to fail. We are destined to be disappointed. Psalm 32:24 tells us to be strong and courageous. Our hope is not to be dependent upon the people and the things of this world. It is to be in our Lord! There is no doubt that if we involve the Lord in every decision we make, we can and will live a blessed life. Our Lord never fails. He is never late in anything he does. We can trust him to be right on time in all that he does for us. It is when we stray from the path our Lord sets for us that we begin to fail, we begin to worry, we begin to doubt. These are not things of our God in heaven. They are actually sins. We all are human and we all falter. When we do, we should go directly to our God in the name of Jesus and ask for his forgiveness. He loves us and he want us to be joyful and successful, but we must put our hope and trust in him first. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
