No one who hopes in you will ever be
put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous
without cause. -Psalm 25:3
During times of doubt and struggle I
have read and reread this verse until the words echoed in my head for
days at a time. At times the world is an oppressive and bewildering
place to live. At I do not even feel that I understand my own life.
In these times Psalm 25 is of particular value. This psalm is simply
a promise that God is worth the faith we've put in him.
There are many little proverbs that we
use to encourage one another, sadly I do not usually find them
encouraging. Truisms are well meant, but I can't buy into them. It
would be better to take the encouragement wherever I can find it, but
God reaches out to me, even in my cynicism, and offers Psalm 25.
What do you put your hope in?
