Today's Bible Verse
"And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee."
Psalm 39:7

Today's Bible Study
When David wrote Psalm 39, he was facing something difficult. We cannot be sure of what it was, only that he was desperate for God's help. This verse records David's decision to wait for the Lord, even in the midst of great trial and uncertainty. Today, we'll think about the idea of being like David and waiting for the Lord.

The verse begins with a rhetorical question: What do I wait for? David knows that his hope is not in the world. He has nothing to hope for or desire in the world, and he knows that all pleasures come from the Lord Himself. The world is fickle and all the pleasures it offers will not satisfy us, so we must hope in something greater.


Then David sets his eyes on the Lord, and realizes his hope is in Him; if something good happens, it will come from God. David is aware that looking to the world for affirmation, fame, peace, or joy will always be in vain, but hoping in the Lord will never prove futile. It is the path that will bring peace.

Today, if you find yourself waiting for something worldly, remember that the Lord is your true source of pleasure and satisfaction. Knowing Him produces enough joy to last for all eternity. He is sufficient … right here, right now.
Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you for being my hope. Thank you for being so much better than anything this world offers. I love you, Lord, and I want to know you more and more. My hope is in you, Jesus. In your name, amen.

Yesterday's Bible Study
In this verse from Isaiah, we have a hymn of salvation in response to God's promises of a Messiah. Today, we will look at each phrase in the verse, which is full of practical applications for our lives today.

The verse begins, "Behold! God is my salvation." Do you ever meditate on the fact that God Himself has saved you from all wrongdoing? If not, take a moment to think about that now. God is a perfect being, fully complete and holy just as He is. We humans were sinners, unworthy of God and unable to know Him. Jesus came, paid the price for our sin, and saved us once and for all.

Because God is our salvation, we are able to trust in Him and not be afraid. The Lord demonstrated His love for us when He died on the cross, enduring death so that we could be free. He proved Himself trustworthy … once and for all.
