We Hope In His Blessing - Advent - Hope

 

How often do we turn our gaze
To that which can destroy,
Our troubles or our broken dreams,
While ignoring our joy.
 
We walk through hard times every day
But there are blessings, too.
Why do we focus on the pain,
But joy, we look right through.
 
It all comes down to what we seek,
For that is what we see.
If we spend our time counting tears
Then we’ll find misery.
 
For those who live with hope in Him
Their troubles come, then go,
But their eyes stay fixed on His grace
From which all blessings flow.  
 
Psalm 42:11
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
