Quest for Hope
Looking for God 3-21-16
Psalm 22:1-8
On Saturday, we read about Zacchaeus and how he reveals a truly surrendered life. In fact, Zacchaeus shows us grace in action as he seeks the Lord and puts his hope in Jesus to save him. Zacchaeus demonstrates the power of grace as he climbs down from the tree to receive and fellowship with God’s Love. He goes from being separated from the love of God in Christ to enjoying Christ as a guest in his home. Truly, only God could have brought this about in Zacchaeus’ life. Today, we will continue our quest for hope as we turn to the Psalter and visit David’s song in Book 22. He sang about how he continued to look for God (like Zacchaeus), but at times he felt abandoned by Him. Have you ever prayed, “Where are you, God?” David did. Jesus did.
