Who Gets to Claim Gods Promise of Hope?

"Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope."Ps.16:9



*HOPE - Betach-Those who are in a proper relationship with God will dwell securely.



A few years ago, dh and I went to the Basic Life Seminar by Bill Gothard. One of the main things I still remember about it today was the illustration of God's umbrella of protection.

When I am in obedience to God, I am under His umbrella of protection; nothing can get me there, I am protected from the fiery darts of Satan. There is no place safer. There I can rest in God's promises, there I have hope.

Hope that everything will turn out o.k.

Hope that despite ME, my children will walk with the Lord.

Hope that despite the economy, we will thrive.

Hope for a peace that passes all understanding!

Hope that I will fulfill my purpose for being alive "for such a time as this."

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of hope. Help me to walk in YOUR ways that I might remain under Your umbrella of protection!
