For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth – Psalm 71:5
Some people trust in their bank accounts while others trust in their own abilities. Still, others trust in rulers, leaders, and political parties to ‘make things great again’. This same situation existed in biblical times. The psalmist wrote that ‘some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God’ (Psalm 20:8). We put our trust and hope in God because we know that He never fails. Hope is defined as the expectation of a sure thing. The only sure thing in this world is what has emanated from the mouth of God because He cannot lie. This is why hope in Him does not disappoint. Friend, whatever God says is backed by His name and is a sure thing. Whereas everything and everyone else are bound to leave you disappointed and sour in due time but God is the only One you can always depend upon. This is why God should be your hope and your trust. Is God your hope and trust or have you given your hope and trust to something or someone else?
If I am going to get my hopes up, it is going to be in God alone
