"I AM COUNTING ON THE LORD; yes I am counting on Him. I have put my hope
in God's word."
Who do you count on? Who do you put your trust in? Every person has someone they can count on. Is it your mother or father, sister or brother? When you need someone to protect you and come to your aid, who do you think of? If you are counting on a person, or government, or a hero to come to your rescue, you may be in for a big surprise. We all know that at times in our lives there will be moments when we feel that we just can not handle things on our own. Do you worry about your future and how and when you will die, knowing that it is inevitable? Surely you know that you can not save yourself. You will not be able to rely on any human being. When you are in the foxhole and the bombs are blasting all around you, who are you going to count on to save you? I AM COUNTING ON THE LORD!
The only one that you can truly rely on and place your hope in is the Lord Jesus Christ. He will be with you even until the end of your time on earth. He is your Salvation and the only one that can give you new and eternal life. The Lord can allow you to say, "grave, where is thy victory, death, where is thy sting". The Lord's Truth and His Word are the only thing that you can count on in this life. Have you put your hope in God's Word? There is no other place that you can go to find peace, life and eternal joy! That is why the Lord came into this world, to Save us from our sins and give us new and eternal life. If you never come to accept the Lord into your life, then you will never have hope, peace or life! If you are counting on someone else to save you, it can never happen. There is only one answer; I AM COUNTING ON THE LORD!
As believer's we have placed our hope in the Lord and His Word. We know in our heart that we can count on Him to Save us. We are waiting with great anticipation and expectancy for the day of our Salvation. We trust and believe His Word. We know that He is the Way the Truth and the life! No one can come unto the Father except those that believe and belong to Jesus Christ!
That is why we do not fear death, for we know that the Lord has overcome death and can give us new life. When we are in the foxhole in a raging battle or any other situation that is grave in nature, we turn to the only one who can Save us. Who am I counting on, I AM COUNTING ON THE LORD!
