For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. (Psalm 62:5-6 (ESV)) Our hope is unshakable when it rests on God as our rock and fortress. John Flavel, The Fountain of Life Opened: states, “Christ is the fountain of all spiritual blessings, from whom hope flows as a refreshing stream.” Flavel emphasizes Jesus as the inexhaustible source of all hope and grace.
Where do you typically place your hope—relationships, success, material things? How does this compare to placing your hope in God? How does the promise of Christ’s return as our “blessed hope” influence the way you live today?
