Hope in Love

Love these verses from Psalm 33:

A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

I love the freedom and safety that kids feel when they are playing in a park, climbing on slides, running around trees, and squealing with delight…all because they know their parent is sitting on a bench  nearby to protect them, watch them, and be available for a hug should they fall and skin their knee.

God too is sitting near us, his eyes on every move we make, because he loves us fiercely.  He wants us to be able to enjoy the playground of life he’s set before us, knowing that we are covered.  

Should any intruders show up, a storm arise, or we fall and hurt ourselves, he’s right there – just a call away – to scoop us up in his arms, comfort us, restore us to health, and send us back out to play.


No one else saves, delivers, and strengthens us except the one who loves us completely and perfectly – Jesus. 

His eyes are on you, today.
