We can walk, stand and live in victory! "Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word."
Psalm 119:114
We live in a world where often time there seems to be no hope. We watch the news and read the paper and it seems to be one thing after another. We can become engulfed with all that is taking place and as Christians, we begin to buy into the thought that there is no hope. Put down the paper for a moment. Shut off the television for a day or two. I am not saying that we should live uninformed lives when it comes to the things which are going on within our nation or even globally, but we cannot allow ourselves to become hopeless. If we allow ourselves to be moved by all that is going on around us, darkness will slip in and the devil will be fast to work us over. The accuser looks for any entrance or advantage that he can find to discourage and disrupt the life of the born again. Listen- We do have hope. Just as sure as there is a God in the glory, we have hope. We can be triumphant in perilous times.
I have three truths I want to lay on your heart.
I. "Thou art my hiding place"- Speaks of a place of peace when the waves of the world come crashing. There is no worldly plan or pleasure that provides peace like Almighty God in the midst of the storm. Please take note, it is in the middle of a trial or trouble that we can know and have peace.
II. "My shield"- Speaks of the protection that God promises throughout Scripture. I believe many of you could testify over and over how almighty God has showed His self powerfully as your shield. Revisit those days and praise the Lord for His care and protection. Encourage yourself with those precious and powerful memories.
III. "I hope in thy word"- Speaks of the power that God provides for His children to live day to day in the here and now. My friend the hope we find in God’s Word ignites our faith and strengthens us when our faith is feeble and the day is long. Our time here is short so let’s move forward by faith as we trust in the infallible Word of God.
