Does today scare you? Are you worried about what today or tomorrow might bring? Where is your hope?
Hope...what does it really mean? When we place our Hope in the Lord what does this mean? Hope as Webster's defines it means to desire with expectation of obtainment or to expect with confidence. As a Christian we place our Hope in Jesus Christ. Our hope for the day is that the Lord will bless the situation we are facing and wash away the fear that the situation may hold. Not always as easy for us to receive on a daily basis.
When we say something like "I hope this day gets better" we are taking the word Hope out of context if we don't believe it. If you are placing your Hope in Jesus Christ, you are expecting the obtainment and doing so with confidence. The same is with when you pray. When we pray we are petitioning Lord Jesus to intervene on our behalf. We are asking Jesus Christ to step in and we are doing it with confidence. Or are we?
What happens when our prays are not answered in our timing? Do we lose hope, do we lose our confidence. We were expecting God to answer our pray in our timing the way we thought it should have been answered. Why do we think this way, do we know best? We are the created, not the Creator.
The Fearless-Factor for today is Psalms 25:5 "Guide me in your truth and teach me for you are God My Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."
The Psalmist wasn't giving God a time table. He placed his Hope in God all day long and asked for God to guide him and teach him. Bad things might happen, but that don't mean we are to lose hope in the Salvation we have. God is teaching us and helping us grow to make it through harder times.
Where is your Hope when you are worried and afraid? Are you learning from the experience? What is God teaching you today?
Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
Your Brother in Christ,
