“Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.”
(Psalm 119:49)
Whatever your special need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it.
Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise-“He giveth power to the faint.” When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask Him to fulfill His own word.
Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with Him? This promise shines like a star upon you-“Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this-“Lord, Thou hast said it, do as Thou hast said.”
Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words-“I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins.” You have no merit of your own to plead why He should pardon you, but plead His written engagements and He will perform them.
Are you afraid lest you should not be able to hold on to the end, lest, after having thought yourself a child of God, you should prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: “The mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed, but the covenant of My love shall not depart from thee.”
If you have lost the sweet sense of the Saviour’s presence, and are seeking Him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: “Return unto Me, and I will return unto you;” “For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.”
Banquet your faith upon God’s own word, and whatever your fears or wants, repair to the Bank of Faith with your Father’s note of hand, saying with the Psalmist, “Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.”

WOW, that is for me……..
The Lord promises each of us different things just like he did the saints and people of the Bible. In that I find that I have to hold on to my Hopes with all I have. It’s like holding a rope in a strong wind with all your might.
HOPE, FAITH, LOVE
Sometimes it seems hard not to give up on it, Sometimes it seems my faith will fail me, sometimes it seems to painful to believe in the things He has promised.
However, He put that hope in me, He put those dreams in us, He prepared each of us for the daily battles to take Land for Kingdom of Heaven that we have been given.
We each live in a Epic Drama that the “Great I Am” Has written just for us.His Children.
I Thank you and Praise you “Oh My Savior and Daddy” that My Hope Will not fail me. You say, Those who Hope in The Lord will not be Ashamed. That Hope is what we have been left with until your return.
Glory and Praise be to you YHWH My Daddy…I Will Hope in You, as You are my “YHWH Jireh” and All Things come from you…..Your daughter Donna

January 26, 2013 at 10:31 amThis was such a meaningful message for me on the dreary, rainy day. Hope – it is such a gift from God. It is what lifts us above our surroundings, our circumstances, our SELVES – and fills our hearts with the confident assurance that our Savior has everything well in hand!
I loved the idea of going to the Promiser, and asking Him to fulfill His own Word. Yes, we are told to boldly come to the throne! What an awesome privilege that is!
Thanks for this timely message today.
GOD BLESS!
