A Daily Devotional About doing the right thing when hope seems gone� Psalm 25:21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles! (NIV) When hope is gone, part of life seems to go with it. Our ties to life are all founded on hope. We hope for the future in innumerable ways. We hope the weather will get better, our investments will get better, our health will be better, and our relationships will renew or increase. Our every action has a thread of hope connected to the action. When hope is gone, life is gone. When hope is gone, the purpose and meaning in life are lost. When life loses its purpose and meaning, falling away from God can be the result. People who have lost hope in any circumstance not only give up on the circumstance, they often give up on living right and always doing the right thing. The hopelessness of poverty brings the caving in of the desire to live right before God. In hopelessness, sin enters into a person's life. The hopelessness of the poverty of our spirit also brings the response of living for ourselves rather than living for God. Christ is the hope of life. Christ calls us to do the right thing at all times. With the hope of Christ we are empowered to do the right thing in every circumstance. |
