He is our Hope

The flooding taking place in Houston right now is unimaginable. I have tried to put myself in their place but it is absolutely impossible to try to fathom what they have been through, what they are going through, and what they will have to go through to recover. Unimaginable.

In Houston, most folks went to bed on Saturday night and awoke Sunday morning stranded by flood waters all around. It's not that they didn't plan well; things turned from bad to worse without warning. The water fell and rose in an unprecedented manner. I cannot imagine what I would do if Trish and I were there with a five-year-old and a four-year-old. Where do you find hope?

Today's word is on that thought. Psalm 62:5, NIV, reads, "Yes, my soul, find rest in GOD; my hope comes from Him."

The old saying is that when you realize that GOD is all you have, you'll realize that GOD is all you need. GOD can aid and comfort the afflicted unlike anything we could ever manage. He can be all places at all times helping all people. We have to do our part: pray, seek GOD'S guidance, provide what we can.

It is at times like these that we may find ourselves at a loss for what to do, especially when we are so far away and have limited resources. We may not be able to do anything more than pray for GOD to be with them and comfort them, which is what we need to do. And, we need to remember that GOD is there, in the midst of the nightmare, in the midst of the turmoil, in the midst of the struggle, He is our Hope.

Be Blessed,
