Hope

"Happy is the person whose hope is in Jehovah his God," Psalm 146:5.

Happy. More religious: blessed. Either one. It's a good deal. A very good deal. So why is such a person blessed (whose hope is God)? Because this God created earth and sky and sea. And everything else. Because this God keeps faith forever. This God does justice for oppressed peoples. This God gives food to the hungry. This God sets prisoners free. This God opens blind people's eyes. This God lifts up hunkered down people. This God loves people who do right things. This God watches over sojourners, wanderers, migrants. This God holds up widows and orphans. The God of Jacob. That's why.

So we find a brother or sister today, and together we share hope. Together we give joyful thanks. Not because of just anything people call god, Not at all! Because our forever trustworthy Jehovah God.
