Lord… My Hope Is In You

by womenwithdestinyPosted on March 23, 2017

And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You. Psalm 39:7

 

Ah, hope. It is a precious thing. I picture it often as the steel magnolia; beautiful yet impervious. Perhaps that is why I love the surely in the book of Habakkuk that says,

For the vision is yet for an appointed time;

But in the end it will speak and it will not lie.

Though it tarries, wait for it;

Because it will surely come… [2:3]

Oh, but the tarrying.

How it can try our nerves and twist our hearts!

Then my hope must endure all the contradictions to it. And, I think the longer the tarrying, the more we must focus on God’s surely, because that Hebrew word in the text actually means “to come upon or to come to pass.” That our vision is not a “might?” but a “will be!” and my hope must wrap itself around God’s assurance.

God bids us ask, and when we have, and He has answered “Yes,” then we must stand upon that yes for all we’re worth—no matter the obstacles or difficulties that oppose us!

I believe it pleases God when a child of His asks for something that is utterly impossible apart from His omnipotent intervention. When we ‘ask Him for the moon’ so to speak, I think we honor Him. Our asking is worthy of an Almighty King. It is never easy to go out on that kind of limb. It can make us feel quite foolish at times, and unfortunately, there are never any shortage of folks who delight in nothing as much as trampling on the dreams of another.

Small people with even smaller hearts.

But, remember this. Small people think small and so believe for little. They delight in crushing the hopes of those who long to push into the land of impossibilities.

That is why when you ask big you must BELIEVE BIG. You must trust in a BIG GOD who thinks nothing of impossibilities!

When our hope is in His promise. When we ask, and then are willing to wait, no matter how long the fulfillment tarries?

You and I delight Him.

We honor Him.

Then our patience turns to endurance and His promises are perfected in us as well as for us.

“For with God nothing is impossible.”

Hi! I’m Molly…

And I want you to know you haven’t come to this page by chance. I have asked God to bring you here. I have asked God to give you everything you need most…

And yes, I have asked Him to give you HOPE as you search for your own unique PURPOSE.

LORD, right now, will You wrap your arms around the precious one who is reading this. Will you breathe fresh hope into their heart, and bring fresh strength to their life. Please teach them Jesus… just HOW MUCH You love them!

In Jesus Name I ask this, amen.

GOD LOVES YOU!

He does, you know….  LOVE YOU!

And, I’ll tell you something else that might surprise you… He wants you to know Him and find the purpose that He has planned for your life.

Thank you for coming to my blog. God bless you!

“I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking to me about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”

Isaiah 65:24 TLB
