Psalms 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?And why are you disquieted within me?Hope in God;For I shall yet praise Him,The help of my countenance and my God.
Where there is hope, there is fertile soil for abundant life, miracles, answered prayers and blessings. When you are rooted in true hope, you can take hold of every promise God has offered ( Derek Prince – Unshakable Hope). Hope is a sure anchor when going through any magnitude of calamity.
The Psalmist is depicted as yearning for God in the midst of distress. He is speaking to himself ( his soul) in an attempt to bring comfort and security . In answer to the questions focusing on his predicament, he commands his soul to hope in God. There is no need of going into great lamentation if God is our help.
What is it that may be causing jitters in your life currently? It could be conflict within the family circles, a diseases, unpredictable future, the inflation rate and runaway commodity prices, an addiction, insecurity and the fear of loss. Cheer up because we have unshakable hope in God. ‘In all these, you are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus ! ( Rom 8:37)
