I will Always have Hope

I wouldn't know what to think if I had no hope. I guess what I am saying is that I have never not had hope. Yes, things get bad for us all. No one is immune from the wear and tear and worldly struggles. But, also, no one is without hope, if they choose to look for it and cling to it.

Here's the deal...I used to hope to be six feet tall and 180 pounds. I never did make the six feet tall, there is NO Hope for that. However, now, I just hope that I never reach the 180 pounds. While I jest, hopefully, you get the point. It isn't what we hope for as much as Whom we hope in.

Today's word is from Psalm 71:14, NIV, which reads, "As for me, I will ALWAYS have hope; I will praise you more and more."

David wrote that he will ALWAYS have hope. Why? Because the government has things under control? Goodness no! Why? Because he will always have everything he wants? Certainly not. Why? Because he was king and nothing bad ever happens to those in authority? He wished.

David could always have hope not in his circumstances or his wealth or his stuff, but in his GOD. As long as we have GOD, we have hope. We can rest assured that GOD has our back; that everything is going to work out just fine. We can hope for no rain tomorrow or we can trust that GOD has it all figured out for us. It's isn't what we hope for as much as Whom we hope in. GOD will never fail us!

Be Blessed,
