"The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy."
Psalm 147:11 (NKJ)
Hope is such a relieving thing. It's like the understanding that one can rest on something, and rely on it for total protection and support. Something good to hope in is like a shelter, a haven.
And the Lord's mercy is the perfect hope. Unwavering and vast, there's a sure reliance that God cares about and for us in spite of any mistake we might make. It's a massive comfort to know that it doesn't have to be earned with good works.
No wonder the Lord is called the Rock of ages; He's absolutely reliable in every way.
