“Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.” Psalm 119:116 NIV
There was a time a few years ago when I was discouraged and heartbroken.
I didn’t know how we were going to make it.
We were living in Las Vegas and our neighborhood edged the Red Rock desert.
One morning I got up early and took a walk.
With worship music loaded on my iPod, I set out to pray and breathe in the presence of God.
The sun was just rising over Red Rock Canyon and it was so beautiful that I almost dropped to my knees. As I turned the corner out of my neighborhood and onto the desert road behind it, the song “Great is Thy Faithfulness” began.
I heard God’s whisper in my heart, “Hold on. Your hopes are not lost. I am faithful to complete what I have started in you. I will sustain you through this and strengthen you in it. My faithfulness knows no end.”
It was a turning point for me.
I carried that promise through a time that got harder long before it got better.
Hold on, my friend, your hopes are not lost.
Jesus is faithful to complete what He started in you.
