Listen:

Psalm 31:21-24

Praise be to the Lord,

for he showed me the wonders of his love

when I was in a city under siege.

In my alarm I said,

“I am cut off from your sight!”

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

when I called to you for help.

Love the Lord, all his faithful people!

The Lord preserves those who are true to him,

but the proud he pays back in full.

Be strong and take heart,

all you who hope in the Lord.

Consider:

Hope is sometimes a hard thing to catch hold of…especially when we are in the grips of the very human experience of LIFE! Hope feels like a fancy word we use to avoid talking…
