4 Show me your ways, O LORD, 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, Faith, Hope and Love. Jesus tells me that I need to focus on Hope in Him. What that means I am not entirely sure. To me it means focus on the good and believe in the positive. Prayer - Good show me how to hope and give me direction. Teach me your love. Build me into what you want me to be.Psalm 25:4-6 (New International Version)
teach me your paths;
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
for they are from of old.
Hmmm...Hope is one of my mainstays. I think of it as like a next step after faith. When I struggle to have faith, I'm struggling to believe God means what He says and can do it. Once I get that straightened out, Hope means I'm banking on it. So, when I say that my hope is in Christ I guess I mean that I know everything else will let me down, that my meaning/mattering that beauty/goodness/love WILL BE FROM HIM. That the things that I need but can't have here or cannot get from anywhere else, the things that I need for my spiritual survival I will get through Him. Does that make sense? Oooo writing things out really makes me think about it.
