Our God, you save us, and your fearsome deeds answer our prayers for justice! You give hope to people everywhere on earth, even those across the sea (Psalm 65:5 CEV).

Our theme for this week is hope.
Does God give hope only to our kind of people, or is God more generous than that? Today’s psalms meditation makes it clear that God has a bigger view of humanity. He is the giver of hope to people everywhere.
Response: LORD God, we look to you for hope. Help us to be like you, heavenly Father, giving hope and help to those in need. Amen.
Your Turn: What can you do today to give hope to someone in need today?
I love the Psalms 
Some of the things some people professing to be Christians have been saying (via air waves) in representation of Christianity is almost disheartening.
I say almost, because those who know better will do & be better.
It’s also important that we try to remember that one of the things S&G were judged for was their treatment of foreigners. (Book of Jasher gives a more detailed account).
God gives hope to ALL people, “we’re all of significance to Him”.
Agreed. The good Samaritan was of the wrong religion and race, and yet he showed mercy to the injured man. He did not ask him his religion before he assisted him. Neither should we if we want to reflect the character of Jesus.
This is an even better example. Thank you.
