Who Has Your Hope...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Where do you place your hope—your real hope. If you are honest, you will realize how much hope is placed in things other than God.

We want financial security. We are obsessed with people’s opinions of us....our reputation. Put bluntly, we have an idol problem.

Whoever has your hope, has your heart.   Wherever we trust for ultimate happiness and satisfaction is where we place our hope. And whatever we place our hope in, has true control of our heart.

Today’s verses are a prayer from David—and he’s expressing this same sentiment when he asks God to “unite” his heart to fear God’s name.

David, like so many of us, was a man who struggled with a divided heart. Even though he was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22) his affections wandered.

That’s the crux, isn’t it?

Every Sabbath we sing songs that agree with verse 10: “For You are great and do wondrous things; You alone are God.” Then on Sunday our hope wanders from the One who is “God alone” and trusts in so many other things. So many idols.

Remember what God said about idols in Isaiah 44:20b? The people “have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.”

And what are David’s words? “Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth…”

Idols lie—they simply can't deliver on their promises.

So, for anything that has your deepest hope, ask yourself these questions:

Will this satisfy my heart, or is it lying to me?

Can this save my soul, or will it leave me empty?

Can this heal my marriage, or will it destroy?

Would I be happy if my children and grandchildren embraced this?

So, who has your hope and your heart today? Pray with David for a united heart.

100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world! 

Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within Our Heart!

We are United in Christ!  

Jesus is Coming Very Soon!  

PRAISE THE LORD!💖
