Reflection:  Hope

This Psalm ends with a call to put your hope in God (vs 7). Why would you do that? Look at how God is described in these verses: He loves. He saves. He redeems. This is the God that we worship. His love is unfailing. His love will never let you down, it will never be cold. He saves people from the judgement we deserve because of our rebellion. He saves people from hell. He redeems. He restores us back into the relationship with him we were created to have. How amazing is our God! This Psalm has taken us on a journey from despair (vs 1-2), to the cross (vs 3-4), to our eternal hope (v 6) to a vision of God’s very heart (vs 7-8). What a beautiful God we worship.

Question:  Which aspect of God’s character do you find yourself resonating with: his love, his saving, or his redemption?

Prayer:  Thank you, God, that your love is unfailing. Thank you that you save fully. Thank you that you restore us into a right relationship. Thank you that this is all brought about because of Jesus.
