Where is your hope?
Recently at my church we had this gathering that goes on once a year called Holy Convocation. It's basically a gathering of believers who spend 27 hours seeking God and spending time in His presence. AKA my favorite time of year. It's definitely fun to just sit back, turn my phone off and worry about one thing for a moment, spending time with Daddy. This year, I was able to stay for a few hours one of the days and just spent time reading Psalms. I was reading the ones that straight up praise the Lord. They're so great! One that I read that Jesus just pointed out to me and really made me think, pray and dwell on was Psalm 147:11. The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those whose hope is in His steadfast love. Wow. As I read this all I could think of was Jesus standing before me asking me "Where is your hope, Selina?" I think so often in this fast paced life it's all too easy to just say "Oh, absolutely. My hope is in the God."...
