TEXT: PSALM 119:113-120
Key Verse: “I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love” (Psalm 119:113).
In his expression of hope, Habakkuk, one of the minor prophets in
Israel, said: “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall
fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail and the fields
shall yield no meet... Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will joy in
the God of my salvation” (Habakkuk 3:17,18).
“While there is life, there is hope,” goes an old saying. As long as
there is hope of life, man will part with anything to save or prolong
his life. He will cling to the hope of survival even in spite of all the
evidence that he is not going to live. That is how important hope is to
the continued existence of man. The natural man’s hope is all in this
life, but it is all a fleeting, dismal hope.
There is a hope that is founded on the truth and unfailing word of God.
That is the good hope, which is the hope that never disappoints. This is
the same hope expressed by King David in our text. It is a hope that
keeps you pure and separate from sin. Those who do not have God, do not
have this hope. The people that have it are genuinely converted, for
without this hope, the pain of persecution, trials and misunderstanding
would have been unbearable.
The Bible is the word of God and a Book of hope. It promises us eternal
life through faith in the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and
depicts the wonderful reward that awaits all those who believe in Jesus
Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Hope is essential to our perseverance, our getting through tough times
in life; for without hope, we soon give up. A trust in God is the
essential ingredient to build up our hope. This trust grows in us as we
learn more of the promises He has given to us in His word. Give your
life to Jesus and refuse to take it back and study daily in His word,
fully trusting in Him to perform what He has promised.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Salvation is the route to the harbor of Good Hope.
