'Bring Back Hope': Burnham and Misplaced Trust
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham talked about 'bringing back Hope' when he came to power recently. To be honest, I'm not holding out hope in any politicians and I don't know why anyone else would. As a metrical Psalm setting of part of Psalm 146 goes, 'Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on men depend They shall die, to dust returning And their purposes shall end.' As the Psalm goes on to say, my hope is in the God of Jacob. I will bring back hope by proclaiming him.
