Friends,
What a beautiful day to be in worship today! This past week I saw several instances of people putting their hope and faith in places other than God. Whether it was Obama, our Congress, sports stars, actors, pop stars…well the list goes on. We have some real problems in this world…some of them may be solved and others may linger for a long time, but ultimately, both in the big and small issues of this world, our hope and trust should be in nothing else but God and His sovreignty.
I love the verse that says in God we will “lack no good thing.” I was having a pity-party Friday afternoon and as I was carrying the groceries in the house, it hit me. How many couldn’t afford their groceries? How many people in our world are starving for food, for faith, for hope? And I am blessed with each of these. I don’t want to diminish your stresses and concerns, but I do want to ask…where are you looking for hope? In what or whom have you put your trust?
