My Hope is in You, LORD!

Where is our hope today? In our government? In the cries of Fergeson, MO.? In our military? In a relationship with another person? In the Pope? NO, NO, NO, NO, and NO!!! For the follower of Jesus our hope can be found only in HIM! Listen to this song and worship our King Jesus:






Now the hope I am talking about is not the hope that is wishing something would happen. No, the hope I am talking about is knowing He has happened, and will return soon. This Hope is not a wishful thinking but a guarantee straight from the mouth of God. Look at the hope we have in these verses:



Psalm 31:24

Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.





Psalm 33:18-22



18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,

On those who hope in His mercy,

19 To deliver their soul from death,

And to keep them alive in famine.



20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,

Because we have trusted in His holy name.

22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

Just as we hope in You.

“And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

There is many more but for times sake I will stop here. HOPE is Jesus! If you don't have a relationship with Him you have none. Let us get our eyes off of worldly hopes for they fail every time and get those eyes on the HOPE that never fails Jesus Christ, Savior of the world!



Go back and take your time and re-read the scriptures above, and let the HOPE of God soak through your body, it refreshes your soul if you are a follower of Jesus. Makes me want to shout! Hallelujah!!!!!
