And rend your heart and not your garments.” Now return to the Lord your God, For He is
gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And
relenting of evil.
Another day
when the news comes of lives lost and heart wrenching for the entire
nation. Police Officers in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana were killed yesterday. Whether
this is a war or a gang fight, it is just wrong. We all have the same need. We need hope.
In a time of
pain and heartache it is hope that will become the rope that holds us, the
reminder that helps us open our eyes to see and open our hearts to accept what
matters. How do you hold on to hope? That is a tough question. Might be better to ask how does hope hold on
to you?
There are
several different kinds of hope, but only one of them will last.
And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their fingers have made.
Those verses
remind me that some false hope is something we work up on our own. That will fail us every time. It also said that idols can be a snare or a
trap. Whatever we trust in has to take
us further than we can go on our own.
Put your faith
in God and in nothing else. Let God
guide your path. Let Him fill your heart
with truth and passion. Let His wisdom
roll from your voice and run through your mind.
By allowing those
things we will not allow the pain of current events or personal events trap us
or run us over. Have real faith in our
real God who really wants to have compassion on each of us, His kids.
Psalms 20:7 NIV
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we
trust in the name of the Lord our God.
