The last few weeks we have been looking at hope. It is vitally important in the life of a believer. Hope is the anchor for our soul. Sometimes what we place our hope in can be the difference between enduring or being lost. Many put their hope in their savings, investments, wealth, military, defences or might. Many times in all history the thing that people put their hope in has come crashing down. Think about the walls of Jericho. They had their hopes in their high, impenetrable walls. Against God, they were rubble. Egypt had all its hopes in its military might. It was the superpower of the day. Against God, they were washed up, literally. Those who had their hope in their wealth have seen many stock market crashes over the years. The 1929 crash, which brought on the Great Depression lasted 10 years and saw many people broken, more than just financially. Where do we place our hope? We should place our hope in God. See, where we place our hope is paramount. It is key whether we suffer loss or stand on the Rock, unmoveable. The heroes of the faith placed their hope in God. They trusted Him to see them through some difficult situations. Many times what they faced seemed hopeless except for God coming through for them.
Has God come through for you in your life? Listen today to be encouraged by the life of David.
