Psalm 130 - confident expectation

I learned once that when I see hope in the Bible it means a confident expectation that what is said will be. It might just be a matter of time, not a matter of if. Hoping in God is not a gamble we take where it might or might not come to be, it will. Hope and patience have to go hand in hand. Verse 5 says to wait on the Lord and put your hope in His word. Are you faithfully reading his word? Or are you reading books about God instead of the book that is God's own words to you? Are you reading God's book full of stories of unfailing love and full redemption? These are the reasons verse 7 gives us why we should hope in the Lord. Because the Lord is unfailing love and is full redemption. That isn't something we hope He does, those are the very nature of who He IS. If you are disappointed in life it is not because your circumstances are so much worse than anyone else's problems, it is because your hope isn't in the Lord. Only the Lord offers unfailing love, not your husband, not your kids, friends, family, church, society, or anything or anyone human. Even the best pet in the world will die someday. Only the Lord offers forgiveness and full redemption, no one or nothing can deliver that fully to you either. Only God himself through sending His son who is fully God will redeem Israel/us from all sins. Nothing we did earned that forgiveness and full redemption. Praise God for who He is: Full Redemption and Unfailing Love and put your hope in Him by reading and understanding His words to you in the Bible. How will you wait for today in confident expectation that his love and grace will handle?
