Great Words of Hope and Comfort

Psalm 33:18-22 is our passage today.  In it we find great words of hope and comfort for those that believe on the Lord.  In your time of need, when you are looking up to God for help, He is looking at you. And for what purpose is God looking? He is looking to deliver you from your struggles, from your misfortune.

In day 10 of Murray's devotional he comments on this, "And now, think of the God on whom we wait. 'The eye of the Lord is on them that fear Him, on them that hope in His mercy; to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.' Not to prevent the danger of death and famine –– this is often needed to stir the waiting on Him –– but to deliver and to keep alive. For the dangers are often very real and dark; the situation, whether in the temporal or spiritual life, may appear to be utterly hopeless. There is always one hope: God’s eye is on them."

Just think, at your time of greatest need, as you cast your face towards God, calling out for help, He is looking right at you. He is reaching down to deliver you.  Let these words be great words of hope and comfort as you wait on Him.

-Mark
