20We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.
Psalm 33: 20-22 (NLT)
My hope is in the Lord; my soul waits for Him. What is hope? A dictionary definition is a feeling of trust. There is a close connection between hope and trust. Biblically, hope can be defined as a confident expectation of God’s promises. A confident expectation in what God has promised, and belief in God’s faithfulness, gives us hope.
The Lord is our help, shield, and salvation. Trusting in His holy name and unfailing love causes our hearts to rejoice.
Verse 22 is a closing prayer; Dear Lord, let your unfailing love and loving devotion surround us; for our hope is in you alone. Amen ⁂
When you have problems and concerns, where is your hope; is your hope in the Lord?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, You are our strength, help, and shield. We thank You for your grace, compassion, and unfailing love. You are our hope Lord; our hearts rejoice in Your faithfulness. Like bulbs planted in the Fall grow and bring joy in Spring, may our faith grow and our hope be in You alone. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen

Yes, my hope rests in the Lord. It was nice to read what it meant and let it sink in. Even though I know what hope is, Sometimes it is good to read and allow the words to settle in our hearts.
Thank you Jeanne for this beautiful reminder 💙💐
