Hope

Trust God - In Him we have Hope!

The biggest implication God’s sovereignty has for our lives today is hope. When we talk about the word hope, we usually equate it to wishful thinking. But the authors of the Bible understood the word hope to be the expectancy of a promised outcome or the waiting period before a promise was carried out.

 

When war appears unending, God will one day give us peace.

 

When Christians are bullied for their values, God will be their defense.

 

When families split apart, God offers a family that will never divide.

 

When society undergoes changes, God will remain unchanging.

 

Just because the trends of society seem to move away from God’s values, He doesn’t move away from us. God isn’t going anywhere. Our hope transcends what is today and trusts in what God will do tomorrow.

 

The Spirit prays for you. God wants to lift you above all the confusion, anxiety, and worries and remove what wants to steal your peace.

 

Suddenly you can see what you’re called to, and you can see His plans for the earth. You get His ideas and are led to agree with and declare them. The Holy Spirit wants you to recognize that whatever you are walking through, He is not discouraged. He is excited for you because it will work out for your good. He is praying to the Father about the divine recompense that you’ll receive as you turn your anxieties and pain over to Him.

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
