How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Psalm 146:5 (NASB1995)
“While he that trusts in man is miserable, he that trusts in God is happy.” Adam Clarke.
There are many blessings in life, but sadly, many of them are temporary. Indeed, life on this earth is temporary if we are brutally honest – we live for a while enjoying the pleasures of it, and then we die. I am so happy that there is more substance to life for me and those who hope in God; His blessings are not temporary, but they are eternal. Every son of Adam that trusts in the world will die there, but the children of God have hope in an eternal home with Him.
Dear Reader, where is your hope today? Do you hope only in the temporal happiness of this world or in the eternal happiness of God’s presence? Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ says this to us, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) Rejoice in Him today for our tomorrows.
