Maybe today you are facing an injustice—and you’re furious about it.
Maybe your hope in this world has begun to fade, and your strength to keep standing feels weaker than it used to.
My friend, this is not the moment to loosen your grip.
This is the moment to tether yourself to God.
King David writes in Psalms 25:3, “No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.” (NIV)
The Hebrew word David uses for hope is a beautiful word picture. It carries the idea of being entwined around someone—or something.
It’s the image of being tethered.
Tied.
Securely bound.
As David faces injustice, he doesn’t wrap his heart around the problem. He wraps his hope around the presence and power of the Righteous One.
Entwine your heart with His.
I want to encourage you today to tie your hope to God: His love, Mercy, Grace and power to hold onto you.
Anchor your life in heaven—where the Holy One calls light out of darkness and where the Son Himself has already broken the power of sin and shame over your life.
When you are tethered to God, your story is never ultimately defined by injustice, accusation, or pain. It is defined by His faithfulness.
So bring your perspective back to Him.
Tie your hope to Him.
And trust Him to do what only He can do.
