“May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.” Psalm 119:74 Psalm 119 is one of my favorite Psalms because it convicts, challenges and encourages me to spend more and more time in God’s Word. The truths and comfort He gives us through His Word truly are endless. We can return to His Word time and time and again and He will never run out of that fresh, living water to quench our thirst. This particular verse, verse 74, tells us that the Psalmist was ... Read More about Psalm 119 and hope
New mercies bring hope
“I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope.

I will yet praise Him…
What exactly does it look like to place our hope in GOD and not in His GIFTS? This is a tough question and one that must be answered individually.

Spend time with Him, ask Him to search your heart and show you the things that have taken too much importance in your life. He is faithful to draw us to Himself!
