2 Samuel 1:1-27; Micah 3:1-4:8; Romans 9:30-10:21
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Psalm 39:7
As we look at our broken world, plagued by injustice, hatred and war, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But the psalmist reminds us that our hope is not in this world, but in the Lord. We don’t trust man’s ability to solve issues and restore peace—we don’t even trust ourselves. Only in God, can we find true hope and restoration. Has life become wearisome, full of anxiety and cares? Look to the Lord. There is no one else who can see us through today, tomorrow, and into eternity. Lord, my hope is in you! —Deborah Manera
Nothing else is needed to quiet all your fears,
but just this, that God Is. –Hannah Whitall Smith
