As my grandaughters say (everytime I talk with them),


"I LOVE YOU ALL THE WAY TO INFINITY AND BACK!"

Hope
July 19, 2010

The ancient road from Jerusalem to Jericho is a narrow, treacherous path along a deep gorge in the Judean wilderness. Its name is Wadi Kelt, but it’s known as the valley of the shadow, for this is the location that inspired David’s 23rd Psalm. The place itself offers little reason to compose such a hopeful poem. The landscape is bleak, barren, and perilously steep. It’s a good place for thieves, but not for anyone else.

When David wrote, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil” (v.4), he was in a place where evil was an ever-present reality. Yet he refused to give in to fear. He wasn’t expressing hope that God would abolish evil so that he could pass through safely; he was saying that the presence of God gave him the confidence to pass through difficult places without fear of being deserted by Him. In another psalm, David said that the Lord was his hope (71:5).

Many claim to have hope, but only those whose hope is Christ can claim it with certainty. Hope comes not from strength, intelligence, or favorable circumstances, but from the Lord. As Maker of heaven and earth, He alone has the right to promise hope and the power to keep the promise.

Our strength and hope is in the Lord—
We rest secure in His sure Word;
And though we’re tempted to despair
We know we’re kept within His care. —D. De Haan

Hope for the Christian is a certainty—because its basis is Christ.

Read: Psalm 23

You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth. —Psalm 71:5
Bible in a year:
Psalms 23–25 & Acts 21:18-40

I truly enjoyed the devotion today. I listened to Dr. Charles Stanley yesterday morning and his sermon was on the 23rd Psalm. It was so perfect the way he went through line by line of this Psalm and just made me have such a good feeling and outlook. I was blessed by it as I was blessed by today’s lesson.

Thank you, Rus!

I can't do that heavy landscaping anymore! In the spring, I put new dirt in in my large pots, plant my little plants, water daily and thats about it, AND that is tiring! You may be doing too much, especially with all your teaching!
