Psalm 9:18 says But God will never forget the
needy; the hope of the
afflicted will never perish.
Hope keeps us alive, doesn’t it? We have hope for better days when we feel
rotten with the flu. We hope for a raise
when we feel we are doing a good job at work. And hope for our future keeps us
working, planning, and doing.
But false hope leads to despair. If we hope in things that are sure to fail,
like money, things, and people, we will eventually find disappointment over and
over again.
Debt may be high, sickness may be rampant, and
people may be totally not following through on promises made, but the truth is
that God never forgets us, and when our hope is in Him, it never dies.
Why?
Because hope placed in God is a hope that stirs up faith, and faith
pleases God and moves his hand.
What are you hoping for, as the year comes to an
end? Tell it to Jesus. He’s faithful, he never fails, and he can
fulfill our hopes and dreams, and give us the desires of our heart.
