Do You Need Hope Today?


(Editor's note: Hope, when referred to in the Word of GOD means something drastically different from the common language usage.  It is a courageous, committed and consistent certainty that what has been Promised by CREATOR will indeed come to pass in our personal walk with HIM


Psalm 119:114 Psalm 119 Psalm 119:113-115 
YOU are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in YOUR Word.

Feel like hiding sometimes?  Would you like to crawl up in a little cozy spot and be safe?  Don't feel alone.  Hiding is part of the human character.  Really it is!  

A very early fun game that it seems all children learn is hide and seek.  We love to hide.  We don't like to seek so much.

I believe that CREATOR built hiding in to us.  Even Adam hid when he fell.  But he hid from the wrong person.  He had not matured to the point that he realized a very important principle:

Never hide from FATHER - Always hide In HIM!

When we hide from HIM, we lose.  Always.  When we hide in HIM we win.  Always!

Need hope today?  There it is!  HE is our refuge (hiding place).  HE is always willing!  I wonder if it would be a completely different world if instead of hiding, Adam would have run to his FATHER and threw himself on HIS mercy . . .

Well, we will never know, but I know this.  We can have a different world for ourselves if we will hid in HIM.  And HE will never turn us away.  HE loves us so much!
