Hope On

Psalms 131:3 (KJV) Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

(Proverbs 12 also read)

Here, David, as king of Israel, is expressing a message of great hope to the people of Israel.  But keep in mind it doesn’t stop there.  Those who believe in Jesus Christ, who trust in Him, and His shed blood, and walk in obedience, have access to the promises of the Old Testament.  We are part of the family of God and this is a message of hope.

And notice that last thought, “for ever”.  That means that God will be keeping us looking upward and rejoicing, and filled with that awesome trait of anticipation all through eternity.  Our hope is not just now.  We don’t just have a hope and a future for now.  We will spend eternity on the cutting edge of anticipating what God has for us.

So?  Time to get on the hope train.  Time to align yourself with that positive, expanding, growing, exciting, eternal future that God has for us.
