I guess I have had the subject of hope especially on my mind this week, so Psalm 146 was very meaningful for me this morning. The subject of hope has come from a couple of different sources. I am excited and anxious for Dave Ramsey's 'Town Hall for Hope' event next Thursday evening, which our church is hosting. He will be talking about how our hope for our economic problems is not coming from Washington, D.C., but instead from the work and responsibility we take on ourselves. The other source is the celebration of Resurrection Sunday this past week. I heard a preacher say this week that the word 'hope' appears like 80 times in the New Testament and all but one time it appears following Christ's Resurrection. Is there a subtle message there that our true hope comes because of Christ and His Resurrection? I think so. Psalm 146 is a beautiful reminder that our trust should not be in princes, they are only human. Instead our trust, our hope, should be in the Lord 'the Maker of heaven and earth' 'who remains faithful forever'.
