"The Lord is my rock, my
fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield
and the horn of my salvation, my high refuge" (Psalm 18:2).
There are many people today who are anxious and worried about
the different situations that are occurring in this country and around the
world. Terrorism, the economy, unemployment, education, lack of economic
resources, and the safety of our families are some of the things that cause
anxiety and worry in the lives of many. Many believers also go through moments
of anxiety and worry.
When we read these words written by King David, it should
fill us with hope to know that despite all the problems David was going through
at that time in his life, he put his trust and hope in God. The hope that comes
from God is the anchor of our lives. The hope that comes from our Lord Jesus
Christ resides deep in our hearts. This hope never leaves us because the Bible
says that God never leaves us nor forsakes us (Hebrews 13:5). This hope is
something that comes into our lives when we let go of our worries and anxieties
and trust in God each day. This hope is what keeps us strong and does not give
up when everything around us falls apart. God, our Heavenly Father is the
essence of our hope.
Today, the Holy Spirit resides in the heart of every believer
assuring us of a living hope. His presence in our lives is the key to keeping
us strong and having the strength to face the challenges of life. As we embrace
that hope that only God can provide through our faith in Him, we can survive
the storms that life presents to us. Hope is the anchor to our soul and the
door to the peace and rest that only Christ can offer.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and may these words help
you renew your spirit.
Pastor Dimas
