Where do you put your hope?

“Each morning that greets me is full of hope,
not because I am successful at what I am doing,
or because the people near me appreciate me,
or because circumstances are easy,
but because God is and He is my Father.
To look at the morning in any other way
is to believe a lie.

To live in hope is to live in truth;
To live in truth is to bring Him glory;
to bring Him glory in my daily living
is the highest form of worship.”

                                       ~Paul David Tripp

Where do you tend to look for your daily hope? Do you tend to put your hope in circumstances, people, your appearance, your possessions, or in the One True Hope that will never fail you?

    Wonderful quote and great question!!!! While I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Lord is the Only One in whom I can fully trust, I often, sadly, rely on myself. It is during my walk with Him and falling on my face millions of times, that I learn, again and again, that He alone is in control, He alone is worthy of all my praise, love, devotion, adoration.

    I am so thankful that He chose to save me.

    His,
    Mrs. U

    Thank you for posting that encouraging quote. I have printed it out and pinned it over my desk where I have to spend several hours a day!

    I put my hope in positive energies. If you think it, it will come true!

    After being burned more than once, I finally had to learn that the ONLY one who would never leave me nor fail me was the Lord. I didn’t grow up in the Christian home where everything was great. I went to public school. So I went thru the normal high school things.

    so thank the Lord, I know Him now!!
