July 26 - Reach for Hope

 

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

(Psalm 34:18 NIV)

 

Hope is the first thing I reach for when things start to slide apart or away. But it is there for me in the good times, too. Hope is a posture for praise. It calls me to unclench my jaw, open my hands, and receive all that is good from my heavenly Father. He is always close to me, in the good times and bad. I will reach for Him. I hope you will, too!
