Hope

No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy
Psalm 33:16-18 (NKJV)


It is amazing how mere mortal men slack on historical lessons of life. The affluent, rich, connected, powerful soon forget how transient and finite their strength and resources are. Nations and the mighty will be in for a rude shock if they total reliance is on their resources, armies and weapons of warfare. History have shown repeatedly how vain it is to rely on our tangible and intangible resources for strength, security and future assurance. How wrong and disappointed will one be with this!

Unless we surrender our all to Him and quit the "I am in charge" mentality, our pursuits and rigors will continually be punctured and confounded by the foolish things of the world. We must fear and revere Him and our total hope must be in Him at all times. Then will we experience peace, security, and assurance that's without limits.

Be encouraged,
