This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope. – Lamentations 3:21

I love this verse. My pastor preached a message from this passage last summer, in a series called Treatment. The message he taught can be found here. Since then, this verse has become one of many that I continually find myself leaning on, and learning from.

This I call to mind.

God's goodness in the face of adversity. When I find myself looking a seemingly impossible situation in the face, or just stuck in a seemingly endless cycle, I look back a specific times in my life where I have seen God work through those times. I find peace in knowing that he has always been at work behind the scenes, and he is, even now.

Therefore I have hope.

Being able to look back at specific situations in their entirety, and seeing God's hand at work through them, that gives me hope.

I am so thankful for how he leads me, always, right into His arms.
