  • 1Peter3Living is a group for Christian spouses living, and striving to do God's will, in a marriage that is unequally yoked. Together, we will be studying the Bible and other relevant biblically centered books in an effort to strengthen our own faith and encourage each other. Although participation is not mandatory, we hope that you will find that our discussion is prayerful, gracious, and glorifying to God.

Weekend Devotion - Where's my hope?

55446_catch_the_lightThese last few weeks have been a true trial of faith, more so than ever before. One thing I'm realizing is that when my faith falters, it's because I've misplaced my hope in circumstances, people, or a false belief. Take a look at these Scrptures:

"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." - Psalm 39: 7 NIV

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." - Psalm 42: 11 NIV

"Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right road for me to follow.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." - Psalm 25: 4,5 NLT

"No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame," - Psalm 25: 3 NIV

Each one clearly shows our hope should be in God, because he's the only "circumstance," person and truth we can rely upon 100%. But how do we do that? How do we completely place our hope in God and not in the "hope" that the circumstances will work out, that our spouse will come to know and love Christ, or that we made a good decision despite the uncertainties and the unknowns currently dominating our lives? And our hearts...

I'm formulating my own theory on this one. Would love to hear what you think.
