Find Rest My Soul, 

Put Your Hope in God 

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24 
The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love. Psalm147:11 

Dictionary.com defines hope (verb with a subject) 1) To look forward to with desire and confidence; 2) to believe, desire, or trust. I put my trust and confidence in God’s unfailing love. For I am saved by hope but I do not hope in that which I can see. For one does not hope in what one sees. I place my trust, confidence, and desire in the God who created me, raised Jesus from the dead and is the creator of all things. He keeps His promises.

I like how Lamentations 3:24-26 reads;

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for Him.”

 

25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him,
to the one who seeks Him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
 
Without hope one is prone to despair and hopelessness. This is not a healthy option. Jesus brings hope to those in despair and without hope. I desire to be Jesus’ messenger of hope. Putting one’s hope in man is a risky business because more times than not it will let you down. God is worthy of one’s hope for He sent His son into the world to bring us hope. 
 

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5

 May you also put your hope in God and find rest for your soul.
My Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, thank You for giving me a reason to put my hope in You. Help me to be Your messenger of hope. Amen.
