More Hope!

Hope

"God, fill them with all hope, joy, and peace

that they may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit..."

(Romans 15:13) 

            There must be some lucky guy out there married to a woman named Hope. Isn’t that a great thought; awakening every morning with hope; drinking morning coffee with hope; never being too far from thinking about hope. The reality is we can be all those things because the Lord is always with us and through Him, hope abounds. 

            Focusing on the positive gives us hope and feeds positive thoughts. Losing hope in today’s world is easier than having a hopeful mindset. Norman Vincent Peale, in his book, “The power of Positive Thinking”, said it like this, “Change your thoughts and you change your world”. 

One of the greatest things about being a Christian is having hope.  When we look toward the future we must remember Proverb 23 vs. 18. “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.”

Thought for Today: Let today be a day of hope and light!

Prayer for Today: Dear Lord and Father, today we give thanks for our everlasting hope and joy available to us through Jesus. We look forward to a day that we can contribute by showing others the way by example through our hope and light.

Amen
