Hope in God

October 31, 2010 by Christina

“All human devices for the salvation of our souls are vain; but the Lord’s watchful eye is over those whose conscientious fear of his name proceeds from a believing hope in his mercy. In difficulties they shall be helped; in dangers they shall not receive any real damage. Those that fear God and his wrath, must hope in God and his mercy; for there is no flying from him, but by flying to him. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us; let us always have the comfort and benefit, not according to our merits, but according to the promise which thou hast in thy word given to us, and according to the faith thou hast by thy Spirit and grace wrought in us.” (Matthew Henry)

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.” Psalms 33:18-19

      Hi Hollie!

      I have a “thing” for oil paintings and am always on the prowl looking for good ones! I’m so glad you enjoy them too!

      Happy Monday dear friend!

    I just love the expression “fly to Him” – creates such a great mental picture of ultimate safety.
    Thank you for these beautiful words my friend.
