Put your hope in God
Psalm 121:1
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord…
“Put your hope in God” means put your trust in God, rely and depend solely on God for help.
In the verse above, the Psalmist says his help cometh from the Lord. This implies that other people might find help from other people, deities or places.
Scripture says in Psalm 145:18 that
..the Lord is near unto those who call upon Him. Those who call upon Him in truth
Some people might pretend to be calling upon the Lord for help, but in actual fact their hope or trust is in other principalities and powers. Why?
Some people turn to other gods because they think God takes too long to respond to prayer (2 Peter 3:9)
However, God sometimes delays in moving on our behalf because the timing is not right.
Lets learn to put our hope in God and wait patiently for Him to move on our behalf.
Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed, for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts….
This verse from the new testament says when you put your hope in God you will never be disappointed or ashamed.
Those who put their hope in God are never disappointed. King David put his hope in God to help him defeat Goliath and God did not disappoint him.
The centurion who believed Jesus could heal his child just by pronouncing healing even far from where she was was not disappointed.
The Lord our God never fails!!
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Believe without any doubt that only Jesus can save.
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer and confession
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust my sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand.
Amen
