Put All Your Eggs in One Basket - Lamentations 3:24 {Scripture Memory Challenge}

There is one basket that is safe for all your eggs. Memorize Lamentations 3:24 with us and see what and why.

You’ve heard this before:

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Maybe it’s true in general. If you drop that basket of eggs, they all crack.

We know what it’s like to hope for the wrong things and be disappointed. Or to trust a friend only to feel betrayal.

Sometimes it causes us to stop hoping at all. What’s the point?

But we learn from our memory verse this week that there IS a place—or rather a Person—that we can place all our eggs.

Put all your hope in the Lord.

The author of Lamentations wrote that the Lord was his portion, his allotment, his inheritance. And therefore he could hope.

God is the basket to hold all your hopes.

“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:24

Does that mean He’ll give you whatever you hope for?

Thankfully, no. Often we mistakenly hope for the wrong things.

But it does mean He’ll always move in your best interest for His glory and for your good.

And you will discover . . .

So pile up those eggs. Put them in the hands of the Lord. He’ll never drop them.

He’ll never drop you. No one can snatch you out of His hand (John 10:28).

Your soul is safe in Him.

Are you more of an optimist or a pessimist by nature?

How has the Lord shown His faithfulness to you?
