Oct 25 - My Hope – Psalm 130:4-5
This passage is a paradox. One hand the psalmist states that with the Lord there is forgiveness but He
is also to be feared. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In fact if it wasn’t for the Lord’s
forgiveness we would end up in hell. Fear in this case has to with respect, awe and worship. When you
fear the Lord you are aware of your own short comings.
The writer then states that He waits for the Lord. With his whole being he waits on the Lord. He is
Waiting for the Lord to answer. He knows the Lord will answer. We can know the same thing. The
angel Gabriel told Daniel the same thing in Dan 9:23 and 10:12, that even before the request was out of
his mouth Daniel’s answer was on the way. Timing is everything in the things of God. The writer closes
with his hope being in the Lord. The Lord has given His word. Every man may be a liar but the Word of
God is true. So today respect God. Wait for His answer and trust His word to come true.
