Day Thirty-Eight: Biblical Hope
"And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." - Romans 5:5
HOPE! A biblical word that defies the wishful thinking of our societal understanding and catapults us into the supernatural realm where the promises of God are already fulfilled! As we embark on this new year, a fresh perspective is necessary to align or realign our faith so that 2023 becomes THE YEAR you finally embrace the "Made For More" life God has for you.
The revelation of "BIBLICAL HOPE" has transformed my outlook and approach to God and even strengthened me even in those hard, often longer than expected….you know…we will call them "waiting seasons." You know those seasons all too well; waiting on the spouse to get saved, waiting on the promotion to come your way, waiting on the lost loved one to get saved, waiting on ___________ (fill in the blank). This is where hope kicks in and promises us that we will not be put to shame. GOD WILL COME THROUGH!
Hope in Greek means; joyful and confident expectation!
God's hope is not like buying a lottery ticket and wishfully thinking you might be the next big winner. This hope is rooted in the "unfailing" love of God. Until you see hope as an extension of love, you will never be joyful or confident in the wait. So, my hope is not grounded in human logic, nor does it depend on human favour; the hope of Christ is entirely confident that He that began a good work shall complete it.
I am committed to enjoying 2023 with a confident expectation that God has already provided. Let 2023 be the year you hear the shouts of hope; "SOMETHING GREATER IS ON THE WAY"!
PRAYER: "In 2023, I declare over my life that I will pull on the strength of hope and I refuse to allow my circumstances to alter the joy that belongs to me as one who is LOVED BY GOD!" In Jesus' Name. Amen.
