April 21 – Hope in the Lord – Psalm 42:11
The Sons of Korah wrote and sang this song in the time of David. Their theme was to speak to their soul. Once again they put the question. Why are you cast down oh my soul? They had been disturbed in their mind, will and emotions. Something was not right. They knew they were out of sync with something or someone. They knew they needed help. So they told themselves to put their hope in their Lord. Hope comes when you believe you will have a tomorrow. You believe that things will get better. You know you have someone in your corner who will not fail you. This is the Lord.
The secret of success in this instant is putting your hope in the unshakable God. It is praising Him in every situation. Praise is thanking the Lord for what He has done. Sometimes it is praising Him even before the answer has come. It is speaking those things that aren’t as if they are. This is not presumption but faith. Inside your spirit you know what God has said and you are agreeing with Him. The psalmist closes reminding the audience that God is Savior and God. Let us let God be God. Turn your life to Him and see what He can do.
