There are periods of time in my life…weeks…days…moments…when I am brought low by discouragement and disappointment in myself. I am overcome with all that I haven’t done and won’t accomplish.
My soul is cast down and in turmoil within me.
I cannot always explain these periods, but they are so hard to get through.
In those times, my eyes are turned from their focus on God and my focus is on myself…my to-do list, my goals, my dreams, my ambitions. Do you hear it? My, my, my.
There is only one answer that will bring peace to a soul that is cast down and in turmoil.
Hope in God.
I don’t have to have all the answers to all the why questions in life.
I only need to Hope in God.
Friends, that is all we need. He is all we need. Nothing more is necessary!
When I make the decision to Hope in God, to focus my eyes back on Him my whole perspective changes.
It is then that I am no longer downcast and my soul is not in turmoil because I am praising my God!
I will again praise God!
He is my salvation and my God!
I will choose today to Hope in God no matter what obstacles come my way, no matter what stresses there are in my daily routine, no matter what my children do or don’t do, I will choose to Hope in God.
Let’s Hope in God together!
