Hang Your Hat

January 2, 2013

The Psalms are full of verses that speak of hope. Not only can we hope in his name because it’s good, we can hope in his word because it’s life.

As mentioned yesterday, presidents, athletes, celebrities, etc. often speak to the masses offering hope of strong nation, a good season, or great stories.  All of America hangs their hope on every word spoken, hoping that the words will be backed by action.  But all of America seems to continually be disappointed in the spoken word.  It’s very evident from the number of divorces, and the number of people who live together without getting married, that words/vows mean little.  After all, vows are made to be broken, right?  No!

We cry out and our whole being yearns for something and someone in which we can hope.  Jesus’ name is good, and his words are truth.  He doesn’t make promises he can’t keep.  He calls us his sons and daughters, when we believe in Him, and he promises that nothing can separate us from his love, and that he will never ever leave us.

That, my friend, is a word on which we can stand.  His name is good, and his words are true.  There is no one else like Him. 

You can hang your hat on hope in Him.
