A Hope Came To The Hopeless

For we are aliens and pilgrims before You,
​​As were all our fathers;
​​Our days on earth are as a shadow,
​​And without hope.
      1 Chronicles 29:15

Walk your own way, live your own life, do whatever it is you want to do and only what you want to do, and this one short lifetime you live will likely not offer much in the way of hope to the world. A few years later someone might remark, "That guy? Oh, I recall that he did only what he wanted and then died alone." As David wrote in his psalm, our days on earth are as a shadow and without hope. However, David was among those who were given knowledge of a hope only God could provide, a Savior. Isaiah wrote of the hope of God with this:

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. (Isaiah 9:2)

We are blessed to live in a time of hope. Hope that not only lives in our risen Savior, but in the gentle anticipation of His imminent return.

In Christ our Lord,
