Choose to Dwell In Hope

But as for me I will ALWAYS have hope;
I will praise you more and more. My mouth
will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all
day long. Psalm 71:14-15

Our hope comes from God, not our circumstances,
not the people around us. Hope is sustained
when we choose to focus on God. Spending time
in his presence, through prayer, and just
talking to Him, allowing that time of refreshing
we all so desperately need.

Many feel if they control their lives as best as
they can that gives them security. But the older
we get the more we realize the less we control.
It would make one feel like their life
was spiraling out of control when they finally
recognize that fact. Yet that would be
untrue, for you see, God is in control.

God saw your yesterday, he saw your anguish,
the cry of your heart, he saw each word and deed,
He knows you intimately. Nothing is hidden to him.
He knows your family, your circumstances,
your job, your thoughts, your actions, and this gives him
greater insight to what is needful to make your
life work well, and to bring you the comfort and guidance
that is far beyond your own understanding and scope.

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me. I have set
the Lord always BEFORE me.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Psalm 16:7-8

Where is God in your life? Is he set before you
or left on a shelf till you have a emergency?
How is that working for you?

Do you feel like your life is out of control
or are you feeling the peace that passes all understanding?

Tap into the greatest source of strength the world
has ever known. Who loves you with a everlasting love
and has great plans and hope for you.

Remember
Only one life, will soon be past
Only what is done for Christ will last
