O My Soul, Put Your Hope In God

When God disciplines us, He continues His sanctifying work upon us.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   Sometimes we have to preach to ourselves. The message sounds too good to be true—that the God of all the universe would look upon worms like us, redeem us, wash us, cleanse, and then when we continually sully ourselves, he still lovingly disciplines us, and continues his sanctifying work upon us. We wouldn’t do that for others. And yet he does it for us. And it is so foreign to us, that we have to preach it to ourselves to remind our souls of this reality. And sometimes the best way to remember a great sermon is to sing it. So I want to put you on to a new song taken from Psalm 42. For so long I've pled and prayed God, come to my rescue Even so the thorn remains Still my heart will praise You Storms within my troubled soul Questions without answers On my faith these billows roll God, be now my shelter Why are you cast down, my soul? Hope in Him who saves you When the fires have all grown cold Cause this heart to praise You (oh, my soul)
