HOPE IN GOD

We live in a world where people have their hope tied to different things. Some have developed a strong hope in man while others have learnt to trust in physical and material things. Hope as to do with the belief in fulfillment or a desire accompanied by expectation. 

As a matter of fact, hope in riches or man is vain because none of these delivers an assured fulfillment of expectation. Hear scriptures exhortation on the foolishness and vanity of hope man. 

Psalms  118:8 says  "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Trusting and hoping in God is everything and confidence in man is vain. Man is flesh and blood that we see now and may not exist in the next minutes. Better is it to trust the creator than to hope in His creature. 

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help." (Psalm 146:3) Help from man is limited and help from God is divinely limitless. At the end of man's impossibilities is the commencement of God unlimited possibilities. "...with God, all things are possible" God and not man is the perfect and present help in the time of need. 

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD...Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."(Jeremiah 17:5,7). Trusting in man sways our mind from God and hinders our blessings, but hoping in God brings the fulfillments of our expectations with divine blessings. 

Beloved, let your hope be built on God. Hope in God maketh not ashame.

I conclude with Lamentations  3:24 "The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him."

Friend, where is your HOPE tied?
