got hope?

this post is primarily for my children because there are so many things i want them to know and remember and since they're in school now i have so little time with them

i've been studying the psalms of ascent (120-134)--you know how i don't think there's ever a coincidence with what you're studying in the Bible and what you're personally experiencing. i know it's difficult to share a small house like we're doing now-no bed, one bathroom to 9 people, no personal space... but there is Someone who hears you...

psalm 130
out of the depths i cry unto Thee, YAHWEH
o hearken to my voice, ADONAY, let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
if iniquities Thou shouldest mark, Yah, who could stand?
for with Thee, ADONAY, is pardon; that (Thy law) may be revered.
i wait on YAHWEH; my soul doth wait; for His word i hope;
my soul for ADONAY, from morning watch to morning watch.
for with YAHWEH is kindness, and plenteous with Him is ransom;
inasmuch as He ransometh israel out of all his iniquities.

just like the heat of summer makes us hope for winter and cooler temps and winter with cooler temps makes us hope for summer and warm weather fun.... whatever circumstance you find yourself in (and this will not be the last difficult one you will face) hope in the Lord. cry out to Him. we've made it 4 weeks, and you've done very well.
