I expect we all know people who are very doom and gloom and negative about everything? They’ll say things like “Don’t get your hopes up, because it won’t happen!” But God says the opposite!
He tells us in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things we’ve hoped for. If we don’t have bible hope, which is a certain expectation of good, we can’t put faith into operation and without faith we can’t please God. We don’t want to fall into the doom and gloom trap!😊
Genesis 18:14 (AMPC) Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord?… It’s possible we’ve lived with our difficult circumstances so long we’ve stopped believing they could be any different, we’ve lost hope. But God doesn’t want us to put off living in the place where ‘wonderful’ can happen, by relegating it to the sweet By and By. He wants us to choose to believe what He is saying to us and live on Hope Street where faith works.
Scripture reminds us nothing is too hard or too wonderful for God to accomplish and He still does the seemingly impossible wonderful things on our behalf that He always has done. Let’s allow God to fill us with His hope and dare to believe for the things that He says we can have today.
God goes even further when He says we are ‘in Christ’, and we are called to be imitators of God, so we can be wonderful hope builders, as well!
Let’s begin our new week with the thought of being ‘in Him’, the source of our hope, and go out and be the ‘wonderful’ that someone else is waiting for, wonderfully kind and loving, wonderful hope builders in Jesus name.😊 Amen.
