Hoping in God's Word

Thou art my hiding place place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:114

I want us to give our hearts and minds over to this thought, "I hope in thy word." Allow those words to plunge deep into your heart. Allow those words freedom to be rooted in your mind.  These aren't just any words.  They are not the words of a philosopher or guru.  They do not originate from the mind of some so called great thinker.  They are the words of Almighty God.

There is so many places that so many people have rested their hope.  They have rested their hope in a person only to be disappointed.  They have rested their hope in success only to feel empty and hungry for more and never being satisfied. They have rested their hope in material items only to learn that the newness wears off. Hope that is built upon or derived from the things of this world will leave the recipient feeling hopeless. That is a guarantee.

Hope that is built upon or derived from the things of this world will leave the recipient feeling hopeless.That is a guarantee.

God’s Word thus His promises do not waver or wilt under the assault or weight of circumstances. The cream of His truth rises to the top. If anything the word sustains us that much more in any and every situation or scenario. The power is derived from the one who is promising.  We insult and assault God’s character when we question God's promises. In Psalm 57:1  we read these words from David, "For my soul trusteth in thee." I began to meditate upon the word trust.  I found this definition of trust: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone. Than I thought well what if that some one is God?  So I broke down the definition word by word and applied each attribute to God and what it was that God revealed from His word about Him self.  This is by no means exhaustive.

I. Character- "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, holy in all his works." Psalm 145:17

II. Ability- God asked these questions of Job, "Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the heart? Job 38:36

III. Strength- "He is wise in heart and mighty in strength." Job 9:4

IV. Truth- "A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." Deuteronomy 32:4

Knowing that all scripture is given by inspiration of God how can we not hope in His Word and trust Him.
I want you to read these words again.

It is time to turn from doubt and return to the path of hope that has been paved by the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ and His Glorious Word.
