For The Moment…122

Nothing hits God by surprise. He knows the end from the beginning. We are like grasshoppers before him , yet he has compassion towards us. His loving kindness is for now and forever.

When we feel afraid, thrown into the deep without a life jacket, we must remember he is the rock of our salvation.

Fear not just whisper his name. He is the Deliver.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Psalm 123 verse 2

For The Moment…71

Don’t be afraid of those who have power, those who make decisions, those who rule over you, and control your advancement. These people are here on earth for a little while.  Like the cycle of life, everything comes to an end.

Man and his vain brief authority. 

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house increased; for when he dies, he shall carry nothing aqay: his glory shall not descend after him. Man, that is in honor and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49 verses 16, 17,20.

#19 of 31 It Will Come part 2

Hope is not now, but it is for the future.

If we have what we want, we do not have hope.

We do not need to have expectations, anticipation or to even look for hope because it is here.

When we look to the future with the eyes of hope, we look with optimism for the brightest and the best.

There is no stepping backwards, always moving ahead to the next stop with a full heart.

A heart that does not condemn, a soul that is right and a mind that is excited, because we know it will come.

“But if we hope for that we see not then do we with patience wait for it.” Romans 8 verse 25

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11 verse 1

# 15 of 31 Faith Supports Hope

“Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope.” Acts 2 verse 26

In order to say and not only that, but to believe that there is hope in this world, faith must be engaged.

Faith is the underpinning of hope. And faith like a grain of mustard seed, multiples into an abundance of anticipation. 

Faith has no eyes to see with or ears to hear with, but it exists because it believes when there is nothing but hope to rely on.

#10 of 31 Hope and Disbelief – Strange Bedfellows

“If I should say I have hope” Ruth 1 verse 12

Hope is an energy that makes the lights stay on.

It thinks of the good, that something wonderful will happen.

Not that it could happen, but it will happen now, at this very moment.

It believes and waits in sweet anticipation for the now.

But when nothing gives way in the now, hope doesn’t wither and fade;

Eyes are set on the horizon, on the new tomorrows, on the future that will come.

Always believing never standing on the bleakness of disbelief,

But knowing with certainty, it will happen. 

The lights will stay on;

The lights will shine bright; brighter still than the noonday sun.

When there is hope, disbelief cannot abide.
