“A Centered Hope”
 
by Dona Hake
 
 
“Blessed are those whose help comes from the God of Jacob,
whose hope is centered in the Eternal their God—
Who created the heavens, the earth, the seas,
and all that lives within them;
Who stays true and remains faithful forever…”
Psalm 146:5-6 -The Voice translation
 
 
David exhorted us in Psalm 31:21. He addressed all those whose hope is in the Lord their God, to be strong and live with great courage. Today let us purpose to live with centered hope, and enjoy the contentment and sweet joy that rules and reigns within us when we are  focused on that hope we have in our  living God.
 
 
 
 
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all
And sweetest in the gale is heard.”
Emily Dickinson
