Are
there any among the idols of the nations who give rain?
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we hope in You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we hope in You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
Jeremiah 14:22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
God is the Giver of
every good gift and the Provider of our every need. He has created everything
in existence and nothing happens outside of His control. That is why our hope
in Him is never disappointed. He will never fail us. He will never let us down.
Best of all, He is our salvation. We have no hope of being saved from our
sinful state or the sentence of death on our own. Nothing we could do would
save us. It is only through the grace of God that we have any hope of being
saved. But that is not the world’s kind of hope, that “oh it might happen
someday.” We can have full surety of our salvation. He does not disappoint! Those
of the Old Testament looked forward to the hope of His salvation, knowing that
one day God would give a way for His people to be saved. And He did that
through the birth, death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Look to Him
for salvation, accept His gift, and put your hope in Him!
