Sprinkle of Hope

Sprinkle of Hope 

Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.  All day long I put my hope in you. Psalm 25:5

Hope, we can all use a sprinkle ever so often. Do you need to feel God’s love today?

Cornerstone by Hillsong Worship is a long-time favorite song of mine. It’s where my heart often goes when I feel overwhelmed with all the stuff of life, the weight of burdens, responsibilities, sadness, the concerns, and the various scenarios that go round my head. My heart is reminded that the weak are strong in the Savior’s love.

I realize that my heart goes to this song in particular because the words are about Him, about Jesus, and not about me. They’re not words that I have to ‘inhabit’ somehow, emotions or sentiments that I need to relate to or ‘own’, in order to experience the power of the song. Rather, they’re about Jesus. Just that. The truth that is Him. And so, because of that, I can find and feel the hope that He brings, regardless of the challenges in my own head and life.

“My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest friend

But wholly trust in Jesus name.”

Words of comfort today is that we can experience Him through prayer. Today, I don’t know what you are going through but I do know this – through the storm, He is Lord. He is ever present and ready to respond to the cry of our hearts. He loves us unconditionally and loves us to turn to Him in our need.

Prayer for today: Dear Lord God, I so don’t want to be bounced around but remain firm in the Savior’s love. Thank You so much for being my ever present help. Amen.
