Clinging to HOPE

Saturday evening will be one of those times we will remember where we were and what we were doing during an assassination attempt. I hurt physically, emotionally and spiritually. My heart hurt for the family that lost their father as he saved them. Emotionally I was spent from all of the hate and comments leading up to this. Spiritually, I hurt for God and how we disappoint Him. I couldn't handle this world but I knew Who could and I had to choose to cling to Him! He is our Hope!


Thank You, Jesus, for never leaving us! Deuteronomy 31: 8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Thank You, Jesus, for Your protection! Psalm 91: 4, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Thank You, Jesus, that we have somewhere to go when this world is too much and we are burdened and tired! Matthew 11: 28-30, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."


I decided to hand it all over again! I asked God to help me see His hand all over this world. This morning I heard God mentioned over and over. I heard Divine Intervention. I heard, "nothing but God's Grace!" I even heard "the Holy Spirit"! And I heard all of this before I left home to go to church! God wastes nothing! Romans 8: 28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." If you love God, you can watch him bring the good from the bad. Thank Him for His love, grace, mercy and protection! We have Hope in Him! Cling to Hope!
