So I have started listening to podcasts lately, and I recently have discovered a podcast from old church's pastor(in Nashville), Dale Evrist.
Today he had a quick devo that was entitled "our help and our shield". I've always heard the word hope and said I have it, but Dale who's definitions I love, explained hope this way...." A settled confidence in a certain positive future" make me wonder sometimes. Am I really in a settled confidence of a certain, positive future? Or am I hoping He just "shows up" or "comes through" in my crisis or famine or anxiety for the day? Our hope is in the mercy of God, and His steadfast love for us.
How often I forget how many times the Lord provided for people in the bible during seasons of famine?
There is provision in the Lord!

And a lot of the time God used famine to bring people back to him. Maybe this whole economic struggle is something God intends to use to bring our culture back to a spirit of reverence and obedience.
