EVENING DEVOTION
The Author of Israel’s hope.
It is begotten by the Spirit, through the
promises of his word.
They hope because he has promised, because he is
faithful, because his word is true from the beginning.
He is the OBJECT of Israel’s hope.
“Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord
there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.”
They cannot hope in man for he is poor, or weak,
or fickle, or unwilling to help.
But they do hope in God, for he is strong to
deliver, pledged to befriend, ready to pardon, wise to direct, waiting to be
gracious, and he delighteth in mercy.
His compassion is a spring that never fails.
His love is a sun that never sets.
His word is a paradise that cannot be forfeited.
His grace is sufficient for us, and his strength
is made perfect in our weakness.
The hope of Israel is a refuge, let us repair to
it.
The hope of Israel is a fountain, let us seek our
supplies from it.
The hope of Israel is our Saviour, let us put our
trust in him.
The hope of Israel is God, let us therefore
worship, adore, and believe him.
“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his
help.”
James Smith
OCTOBER 9
Jeremiah 14:8
O the hope of Israel…
Hope of Israel, heary me cry,
To thee from self I flee;
Be thou in every trial nigh
And I will hope in thee.
