Day 16 – Hope

Photography by Cecelia Becker

Psalms 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

I love the mental picture this paints! As a baby screams for its food and only gets louder when deprived, our hope in the Lord’s care for us should be as fervent, amen? Does a baby even stop to think where his next meal is coming from? Of course not! He just knows that when he cries, his needs are met. He doesn’t question whether those needs will be met or not.

So why do we doubt that God will meet our needs? Our hope should be in Him and Him alone! Just as Christ has our salvation secure in His blood, so does He have each of our needs nestled safely in the palm of His hand. He knows each care – each need – each trial!
