As we enter the season of Advent, anticipating and celebrating the coming of Jesus, we look at Psalm 80 and hope. This Psalmist is facing great difficulty but turns toward who God is and what God has done in the past for hope in the present and future. The Good News that we discover here is that the final word has not been spoken when death and pain seem to be claiming victory but it has been spoken from the empty tomb. The only hope we have is in the God who has already spoken the final word of salvation and restoration.
