Today’s Scripture: Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 43:5 ESV
Sometimes we need reminders of where our hope lies. This was a rough stretch for David. Reading several Psalms of David this morning I have captured this affirmation “I hope in God” at least five times.
Here in 43:5 David shows his fleshly confusion and lack of understanding of why he feels so down. He has to remind himself and us that there are times in our lives where all we have is hope in God.
O God, my God You are all I have and when I am bewildered by life, I will cling to hope in You. I will praise You for who You are and what You have done. I remind myself that You are my salvation and my God.
Is your hope in God?
Today’s Prayer: O God, You are my God. You are the Creator God, The God of Israel and in You I hope. When evil surrounds me and my flesh fails, I still have hope. Hope in You overcomes all I face. Thank You for being my salvation and my God. Amen
