Devotions: Hope in God

For I hope in You, O Lord;
You will answer, O Lord my God.

Psalm 38:15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

This is a psalm of David where he cries out to God in the midst of both the torment of enemies and the consequences of sin. He cries out for God to forgive him and remove His wrath because he is fully aware of his guilt. His heart is entirely broken and contrite before God. He then talks about the schemes of those who do evil and plan to over throw him, but he won’t listen to them because he hopes in God. The accusations and criticism of others do not matter to him because he trusts in the Lord. Only what God says matters to him, and he is confident that God will hear his cry. He knows without a doubt that God will forgive and deliver him. What are you dealing with right now? What are others saying about you? Don’t listen to them. Instead, turn to the only One whose opinion matters, believe what He says, and rely on Him to deliver you.
