Pleading With God

Today there are many people who have misplaced their hope. They’ve placed it in the economy, the government, the military, their education, their jobs, or maybe their social status. But I’ve got news for them; all of those things are going to fail. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually. You see without God there is no hope. But with God all things are possible. The Bible tells us that in Christ we are more than conquerors. Hope in God. That was David’s conclusion. He had tried to bargain with God, and was pleading his case, but then he stopped and realized that God loves him and that God was in control.

How often are we like David? How often do we try to rationalize our faults away, and try to put the blame on God? David was guilty of that and I have been to, but hopefully we can learn from the man after God’s own heart and follow his example. David didn’t stop with putting the blame on God, but he prayed through until he saw the real root of his problem, and the real answer to his problem.

So what about you? Have you placed your hope in God? Have you trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not you can do so today. If you never have there is no reason you shouldn’t. Don’t put it off any longer. Come and surrender to Jesus today.
