I have discovered in this life that there are very few things that LAST! I don't know about you but things break around my house all the time and I am always left with the decision on whether to fix or to buy a new whatever. I almost always catch myself asking "why can't this thing last forever?"
Do you ever wonder why that question comes out? I often think that question comes out because down deep in our heart is a need for something that will LAST FOREVER! We just need one thing that will show our soul hope that it lasts.
Guess what? The love and goodness of the LORD is that 'thing'! That is correct - The LORD desires that we find out how good and lasting He really is and the only way to do that is to examine the Scripture for the answer...at least that is what I have found in my own life. I find that the Bible answers the questions of my soul over and over again.
When I am discouraged, I go here: Psalm 25:1-3 ~ "To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame."
I learn from this passage that if I lift up my soul to God and trust Him; He will never let me be put to shame...and that will increase my hope.
I don't know about you, but today, I am putting my trust and hope in my God and looking forward to whatever comes my way because God says that I won't be put to shame and my enemies will not triumph over me! YES! Something that won't break and is eternal! That is ENOUGH to get my day going - what about you?
Begin to grow in the Love of the LORD! He has so much for us and all we need to do is turn to Him and believe Him for who He is; ask forgiveness for our sin and REALLY LIVE in the power of His hope and love!
