Reading: Romans 8:24
“For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not
hope. For who hopes for what is seen?”
How often do we get that mixed up? We dream big, we set up
goals, we work hard, we measure and reset, we reach concrete markers, and we
cross the finish line. All good.
Except when we fail. Then dreams are crushed and
disappointment grips our hearts. We quit. Because we have put all our hope in
our human efforts and when we can’t produce we give up. We get caught up in
tangible measure only and forget the unseen promises.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “If you can’t fly then
run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you
do you have to keep moving forward.”
Towards the unexpected—in trust—with courage—towards the
hope that never quits holding on to each of us. His creation in His time by His
hand and for His purpose.
Lord, thank you for Your ever present reminders of hope in
love and prayers and rainbows. Please give us sight to see You and keep living
towards Your grace.
Psalm of Worship: Proverbs 8:23
“Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning
of the earth.”
