My Soul Waits in Silence for God Only- For My Hope is Sure and Steadfast in Him

This morning we will examine the first of our two anchor verses for this year's theme, "The Power of Hope!" In Psalm 62:1-12 we will find the first of many Old Testament definitions and illustrations of our unshakeable hope. There is only one true and lasting hope in this life. There is no other! Our hope is from God. Our hope is Jesus Christ our LORD! Though all hell assail us He will never leave us or forsake us! It is only through Him who loves us that we overwhelmingly conquer in this life. So, when all of life's challenges come upon us how can we be quiet, still, and filled with hope? First, we must know Him and draw ever nearer to Him. Second, we must know and reject the delusions of the carnal man. Finally, we must trust only in Him, relying on His power, love, and kindness.
