DON’T BE CAST DOWN…HOPE IN GOD
HopePsalm 42:5 “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted with me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
Have you ever talked to yourself as King David did? In what or who have you put your hope in when you are feeling down?
I have definitely talked to myself when I am feeling down. And just like King David, I have also been anxious and agitated within my soul when things overwhelm me. As King David questioned himself he eventually lifted up his spirit by hoping in God. He trusted God would deliver him from his enemies.
Hope is key here.
Without Jesus, hope is a wish list. You cross your fingers, knock on wood and hope for something to happen…it is uncertain.
With Jesus, hope is part of our faith...
