All who seek
So if you’ve ever seen
the original Mortal Kombat movie there is a line in it that we all need to
remember. Why you ask? Because this is a blog with an emphasis on
Hope. “Never give up hope! At least not so early in the game!” Now maybe I can’t say the line exactly like
Christopher Lambert but I can point you back to Hope found in God’s word and
that’s better than anything found in a movie.
Psalm 68:3-6
“But let the godly
rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s
presence. Let them be filled with
joy. Sing praises to God and to His
name! Sing loud praises to Him who rides
the clouds. His name is the Lord—rejoice
in his presence! Father to the
Fatherless, defender of widows—This is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families, he set the
prisoners free and gives them joy but he makes the rebellious live in a sun
scorched land.”
So here’s another
example of scripture turned to song.
This is from Strong God by Meredith Andrews.
“Father to the
fatherless, defender of the weak
Freedom for the
prisoner we sing
This is God in his
holy place
This is God clothed in
love and strength
Sing out lift your
voice and cry out
Awesome is our strong
God mighty is our God.”
I titled this all who
seek and this next passage is exactly why.
Psalm 69:32-33
“The humble will see
their God at work and be glad. Let all
who seek God’s help be encouraged. For
the Lord hears the cries of the needy, he does not despise his imprisoned
people. “
Seek God and find hope
because He is Hope!
