a purpose, a hope and a future

As we struggle through these difficult times where stress and the unknown can cause us to have doubt and fear, will our focus be on the following verses from Psalm 77:

Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?
Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His promise come to an end forever?
Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion?

Or, will we stand firm in our faith, grounded in His truth, knowing that God is in control of ALL things and place our focus, our energy, our passion on the following verses from Psalm 77:

I shall remember the deeds of the LORD;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
You have by Your power redeemed Your people…

For the Lord God Almighty has told us that He has a purpose for us, He has provided us with a hope and a future…no matter what the world says, no matter what people might say, no matter what your emotions are telling you – our God is in control. We can rest assured on that truth – forever!
