waiting in hope

I was just reading a bit, and I came across these beautiful verses:

We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.
May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord,
even as we put our hope in you
-Psalm 33:20-22

Sometimes I feel like life is a waiting game...always looking ahead to what is next.  These verses made me pause in the middle of another busy day and remind myself that God is in control.  I'm not pushing on in vain.  My hope is in the Lord.  He is my strength, my help.  He is my joy.  He is everything I need to get through this day and the next.  My life and your life are in His hands, and we can trust that we do not wait in vain for a future that is bigger and better.  We do not hope for world-changing lives and love in vain.  God is our strength and our power.  He is my hope for today and for the days to come.

It is easy to get caught in what is to come - with school and future jobs and someday children and all that. But today is sufficient - today is where we are. we can praise God and live into his plan today! we can Be Here Now and live in the joy of God's love right now.

This is right where I am right now - in a waiting time, and this post was very encouraging to me! Thanks for sharing!
