Your hand.

My Hope

 

Help me understand
how frail I am

count my days

placing all
my hope in You

the Lord my God
who saves.

**********

I can pause and consider where my hope lies, for You are with me.

“Indeed, You have made my days as handbreaths, and my age is as nothing before You; certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.” Selah

“Surely every man walks about like a shadow; surely they busy themselves in vain; he heaps up riches, and does not know who will gather them.”
