“Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.”
Psalms 119:49 NIV
Do you have a favorite bible verse? Many of us do, it may be a verse that comforts us in time of trouble. Or very likely it may be one of the promises of God found throughout the Bible. I have found that during different seasons of life our favorite verse may change. When looking at the total number of Bible promises found, you will see estimates in the thousands; a reliable one by Everett R. Storms came to 8810 broken into several categories.
These promises of God are a great source of comfort and here in Psalms we have one verse that calls to all the rest. Here the Psalmist calls to God to remember all His thousands of promises and why. For Your promises have given me hope. Yes, the very thing they were meant to do, for He our loving Father has sprinkled His word with promises for one purpose, to give us hope. Promises to hold tightly in the storm, promises to cling to in the day of trouble, promises of a new dawn in the darkest of night. So, my family search scripture for the promises of God, they are trustworthy and true, you may count on them in times of trouble, and remember what the psalmist said, “for you have given me hope.” These are God’s words given to God’s servants, and as a servant of the Lord I may lay hold of His promise and claim them as my own.
