Hope
Where do you find hope? People look for hope in many places. Some look for hope in politicians and national policies. Others look for hope in military might or only trust in themselves for hope. There are people that may have lost hope, thinking that life has passed them by and it is now simply a matter of passing time. Where do you look for hope?
There is a desire for hope. Life is imperfect and people often have a need to renew hope. The Psalmist proclaims to all of us where hope is found:
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God. (Psalm 43.5)
God alone is our hope. With all the challenges of this world; missiles, terrorism and mistrust we quickly begin to trust in human things to protect us. Yet the very things that seem to protect us can become that which may destroy us. If we could hope in God, how might the world change? Where do you find hope?
