Week 19 Day 3

2 Samuel 17; Psalm 71; Matthew 26

 

Psalm 71:14, 20-21

As for me, I will always have hope;
  I will praise you more and more.

²⁰ Though you have made me see troubles,
   many and bitter,
   you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
   you will again bring me up.
²¹ You will increase my honor
   and comfort me once more.

This is a Psalm of David while in the middle of distress; acknowledging God as his hope, the one who will restore him and comfort him.

In times of troubles [many and bitter], we may rest in the thought and truth that God is always our hope; the God who will restore us again better than ever; the God who will bring us up and the God who will increase honor and provide comfort.

Therefore, we praise Him still – even more and more because He is a God who will never change nor forget what He’s promised.  He is true and will never ever change. 

Hang on.  Take heart.  Have hope.  Praise more and more.

How timely!  I believe that God is going to this in my life in the same way He did to David.  I will also put my hope in the Lord knowing that He is my comfort, my restorer, my hope and everything in my life.  I will sing to Him more and more!  TEHILLAH all the way!

Lord, I know you remain true.  Regardless all the bitter and many troubles I have been facing this year, I know you are still my hope, you are my comfort, you are my restorer.  I will sing to You still… I will praise You still… because You never change!  Thank You for you remain as You are!  Thank you so much that I can have hope even when sometimes it seems that there’s no end to the troubles.  However, I look forward to what’s coming ahead – the increase of honor, the comfort once more, and the full restoration of my life and heart.  You are indeed wonderful.  Forgive me for my wrongs and I will indeed live for You all the days of my life!  In Jesus’ name, amen.
