November 19th – Psalm 76:4

Psalm 76:4

The world today is in great need of hope. Everywhere we turn, we are inundated by news of tragedy, horror, and violence. As in the days of Noah, (Luke 17:26-27) people are openly sinning against God with no fear of the consequences. And although Christians around the world are sounding the alarm of the Lord’s soon return, the world mocks the message and the messengers.  Yet as the world spins out of control, and people panic over the darkened days, we as followers of Christ have all we need to lead lives of encouragement and joy. For as Job 11:18 reminds us, “You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.” The Lord is our source of illumination, a light that shines in the midst of darkness. Our mighty mountain of strength and stability in which we can place our hope. His glorious nature surpasses even the most magnificent of mountains. And His majesty shines in the richness of His supreme authority, infinite wisdom, and divine splendor.
