LOOK AT THE H’S!

Psalm 33:20-22 NLT We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.

As I was reading these verses I noticed there are lots of God’s ‘H’ words - Hope, Help, Him, Hearts, and Holy! 

I like that the first one starts us off and ends with ‘Hope’ because our faith won’t work unless we’ve allowed ourselves to keep hoping! So just in case you’ve given up on hope this is a little nudge, to dig it up again and put it back firmly in place.😊

‘Help’ is next and we all need the daily help of the Holy Spirit who is our Helper around the clock. No matter what is happening, or where we are, or how often we may have tried and failed, we can try again with His help.

In ‘Him’, that is Christ, we live and move and have our being. We’re reminded we can only live our Christian life successfully when the Spirit of God is living on the inside of us because in’Him’, in Christ, we are forgiven and made righteous in God’s sight.

Which brings us to our ‘Hearts’. Scripture reminds us, whatever else we do, to guard our hearts above all things because all the issues of life come from there. When our heart is right with God we can rejoice, and Romans 5:5 tells us the Holy Spirit has filled our hearts with His love. What a wonderful thought!😊

Last of all is ‘Holy’. Our God is holy, His name is holy, and so are we! Ephesians 1:4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. How astounding is that!

So as we go about our week, remember the ‘H’ words in scripture and I pray they will be an encouragement to you.  In Jesus name. Amen.
