The blessing of those whose hope is in the LORD

Psalm 146:1-10
May 20th 2018, 3rd Holy Day of the month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

Our lives will change depending on where we put our hope. First thing to remember is that we should not put our hope in man. Because man is so fleeting. Also, man is so changing.

We should trust in God. Let me tell you two reasons.
Firstly because the LORD is almighty. We can trust in Him because He is the almighty one who created everything in heavens and earth.
Secondly because the LORD is faithful forever. We can trust in Him because He commits no deceit or makes no mistake, and keeps the promise He has made.

Then, what will happen when we put our hope in the LORD? Firstly, He will be our personal Counselor. Secondly, He will set us free from anxiety. Thirdly, He will strengthen the weak and raise him/her up.

We tend to stick to, and put our hope in, things like what we will be and what we have. However, they are not reliable in the true sense of the word. What we should truly trust in is only God alone. Let us trust in Him and have an established life!

<The Verse of the Bible>

Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
            whose hope is in the LORD their God.

Psalm 146:5 (NIV)
