'The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him'
(Lamentations 3:24).
Everyday we are alive, there is hope. When we make the Lord our portion, then can we hope in Him. God's lovingkindness, His compassion and faithfulness, gives us hope inspite of all that's happening around us.
We all need the Lord, because we are sinners in need of God's grace and mercy. Therefore, we must gratefully receive whatever God brings into our lives.
Jeremiah the prophet witnessed and mourned for the downfall of the city of Jerusalem and for the sinfulness of God's people. As a result, he was in deep anguish and pain. From the depths of his soul, he was able to proclaim that, "The Lord is my portion...therefore, I have hope in Him."
Despite the terrible circumstances through which we are going, we can choose to place our hope in, and trust in God.

Through this vicious world of sin, we can still see the hand of God and know He is in full control. We can proclaim that the Lord is our portion - therefore, we can hope in Him.
He is indeed the portion of His people in life and death; in time and eternity. Therefore, we can safely hope in Him.
The Bible tells us that the Lord is good to those Whose hope is in Him, and seeks him (verse 25).
Let us wait quietly and patiently for the salvation of the Lord! He is worth waiting for.
Have a wonderful day

The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
