When trials happen that test our faith and we find ourselves faltering and coming to the brink of giving up, where is there hope? Is there hope? What does that word even mean, hope?
"So the poor have hope and injustice shuts her mouth." ~ Job-5:16
The Hebrew word for hope in this passage literally means cord (as an attachment). A cord that binds or a line. Then who are the poor? This word means dangling, weak, or thin.
Even when His children look up at the sky and cry and complain because they have forgotten where hope is found.....
He will draw them to Himself. Through gifts, reminders of His great caricature, and even through their own sin.
Weeping may last for the night but joy will come in the morning.
I ask You, "How many times will You pick me up when I keep on letting You down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory how far will forgiveness abound?"...
Then You answer, "My child I love you and as long as you're seeking my face.....
you'll rest in the power of my daily sufficient grace."
