Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.<\/p>\n

During times of joy and happiness, and in seasons when everything seems to be \u201cjust right\u201d, we don\u2019t usually think much about hope.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t really need to since everything is going well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only during less pleasant seasons that hope comes to mind.<\/p>\n

So, when those tougher seasons happen, where does our hope lie?<\/p>\n

Many will put their hope in different things. Most times that hope will be in the thing that is viewed as being the solution to bring the tough season we\u2019re enduring to an end.<\/p>\n

In reality, though, regardless of the season we are navigating, God is our only true source of hope.<\/p>\n

Why does it seem so hard sometimes for us to understand this and hold tightly to God as our source of hope?<\/p>\n

Most of the time this is due to our flesh not wanting to hold onto something or someone we can\u2019t see and Who may not satisfy our intellect.<\/p>\n

You see, our minds like to have something to hold onto that we can easily understand and explain.<\/p>\n

But God blows that all apart because He doesn\u2019t use human logic when He does something.<\/p>\n

Dividing a body of water to allow a huge mass of people to pass through, providing water from a rock, speaking through a donkey, using a prostitute to save some of His people during a time of battle, raising a dead man from a grave, healing a blind man by spitting into dirt and rubbing mud on that man\u2019s eyes; these are all things that God did.<\/p>\n

Not even one of them makes sense to our human understanding.<\/p>\n

And yet, this is the God we serve and Who loves us enough to send His son (God incarnate) to die for us.<\/p>\n

That is true hope, found in the Creator of all that we see.<\/p>\n

Hold onto Him and rejoice as He continues to confound the wise and baffle human understanding, drawing hope from Him no matter what season we\u2019re in.<\/p>\n
