Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 38:15a, where we read these few but important words of David:
"For in You, O LORD, I hope . . . "Do we hope in the Lord? Hope implies need, vulnerability, danger, and antici-pation. And, if our hope is in the Lord Jesus, then this is evidence that we are perfectly secured in Him (by faith); and our sins, which are many, are not ac-counted to us.
Being united to Christ; and having the assurance of God’s love is nothing less than heaven on earth. Let us be faithful and fruitful churchmen; and enjoy Christ’s sweet peace and rest, as we hope in the Lord.
[Puritan quote of the day: "When enemies like lions have risen up against us to devour us, free grace has snatched us out of the mouth of these lions.”
—Thomas Watson, in, "The Doctrine of Repentance"]
