Psalm 33 says “A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.”
I am not a horse person, but I’ve seen their great
strength. Even in the movies, horses are
almost majestic as they run through a field or race on a track. One even feels inspired when watching them
move.
So what is your “horse?” Where do you place your vain
hope? Is it in a spouse? Your kids? A
job?
I figure that everyone at some point in their life realizes
that the one thing they thought would never fail them – does in fact fail
them. Everything in life is really
insecure – it could be here today – gone tomorrow. And things that start out strong eventually
get old and weak. These “things” in
which we place our hope cannot deliver, nor save us – which is what we
desperately need.
The one thing we CAN place our hope in is His unfailing
love. It’s strong from beginning to
end. It never weakens. It never disappoints. And it always delivers…and
saves.
