Where is Your Hope?

January 13, 2013

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
–Psalm 39:7

The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head serenely under its wing, sound asleep. That is peace—to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of the confusion, bewilderments, and perplexities of life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace—at last!

Prayer for the day

Thank You, dear Lord, for the hope I have in Your abiding love, which surrounds me.

I have seen many storms in my life and God has helped me through all of them. He is good to me and I will return the favor by following His commands.

God's astonishing peace engulfs the heart of the believer when trials and tribulations come into our lives. The weight of some situations would crush us were it not for his blessed mercy.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.. Thank you Jesus Amen.

Praise God forever and ever. He is worthy of our praise. He delivered me from smoking on 01/01/2012. I had smoked for 38 years. I had prayed and prayed and now it is done. All in his time. He's always on time. Praise God!!!!!

We are God´s precious child and I am sure that his hands cover me in the midst of the confusion of this world. Thanks God and BGEA

I am learning that it's o.k. to be afraid, it's a natural reaction. But, it is hard to stay afraid when you turn your focus to God instead of focusing on the source of your fear.

margie says 1.13.2011, 10:41 a.m.

What would I do without Jesus in my life, what peace He has given me when I have faced storms in my life. I shall forever be grateful.

Thank You for loving us, that were the reason You endured so much pain. You are beyond ....... Amazing....... That word doesn't even describe what You are.... There is no one word....

PBC says 1.13.2011, 08:28 a.m.

Dear Jesus, the true only living GOD and my personal savior, thank you for your faithfulness and endless love that you poured into my life.

Gerry says 1.13.2011, 08:11 a.m.

God's word very appropriately refers to this peace , as a peace that surpasses all human understanding . That is so true and its totally free for the asking . So why fret and worry about everything life offers. God wants to take away all your concerns ...............just ask.

david says 1.13.2011, 08:03 a.m.

Praise be to God for the peace that he brings to our lives.

sheila says 1.13.2011, 07:25 a.m.

We need Gods peace if we are to survive in this world today, if we are to enter His world tomorrow.

sam says 1.13.2011, 07:25 a.m.

Today's devotion is an analogy of Jesus sleeping in the disciples' boat in the midst of a storm. Having Jesus in our boat will calm all the storms in our life. We simply have to call on Him.

mhonbemo says 1.13.2011, 06:25 a.m.

Jesus Christ is indeed the Prince of Peace!!!

mick says 1.12.2011, 12:55 a.m.

How many times have we needlessly been afraid because we were not truly faithful?
