There will always be hope!

Write from My Heart

August 6, 2020

“There will always be hope!”

Psalm 71:7-9 (NLT)

My life is an example to many because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.

Psalm 71:14 (NIV)

But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

            I suppose there comes a time when every writer worries about being repetitive. Those who write novels probably worry that too many of their characters will be similar, story plots will repeat, and audiences will lose interest. I admit to having similar thoughts as a devotional writer. Questions such as: Have I already used this scripture? Have I already covered this topic? Am I just saying the same things over and over?

            Then it occurred to me; I do have the same message to proclaim! People do need to hear the news of salvation, peace, comfort, and hope—over and over again! We are living in uncertain times. Our nation is tottering on the brink of losing everything we hold dear—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, one thing remains certain. God is the source of our strength and our protection. He is the provider of blessed hope! There will always be hope in Him!
