Why do I forget what I know?
Why do I overlook the obvious?
Why do I look for what I need in the wrong places?
Why do I look at all, when what I need is right in front of me?
“A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Proverbs 18:24
When we experience disappointment, loss, loneliness, discouragement … and we all will … it is important to remember that we are never alone, and that all that this Earth and life offer (people and things) is dust in the light of what god offers.
We have all had hours, days, weeks, even years when it seems as though there is no hope at all in our life. The future, whether tomorrow of every tomorrow until our last breath, can appear to us to be void of any hope.
But we have it all wrong!
Our hope is not in ourselves or our abilities.
Our hope is not in our families.
Our hope is not in our job.
Our hope is in nothing but Christ.
He is always with us … “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20
He is always for us … “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
He is our strength … “I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
This song came on the radio one day, when hope seemed lost:
“You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It can not hide the light
Whom shall I fear?”
Along with the fitting lyrics of that song, were the words I had written on My Loves page, Numero-Uno. It was a good reminder to me that my hope is not in anyone, but Christ.
The words of that page were written on a ‘good’ day, but they are true for every day!
