Psalm 119:49-50 says, “Remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life.” Hope is the anchor of our soul. Hebrews 6:19.

It seems strange that the psalmist was asking the Lord to remember. The Lord knows all things. As I have been meditating on these two verses, I’m using ‘I remember’ to make it personal. 

I have a heart-book of memories of when the Lord stepped into seemingly impossible situations and gave me hope through His word ~ verses that still anchor me. Here is one that I love in Psalm 119:147. It says, “I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your word.”

Trusting hope is in the Lord alone. Psalm 62:5 says, “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” Don’t let your hope get derailed through misplacement.
