How do we maintain our hope while navigating the
sometimes harsh reality of our circumstances? When circumstances threaten to
make a mess of our hope, we must plunge our stake of faith-filled trust into
the Solid Rock. Jesus. He alone has the ability to anchor us to hope. In fact,
He is our hope. Even when we don’t
see the very thing we long to see.
One of the most powerful things hope does is help us to
accept reality without crumbling. Like Abraham, we can face facts without
wavering.
Hope—genuine, radiant, unfaltering hope that doesn’t
evaporate in the scorching heat of adverse conditions—is inextricably entwined
with faith and trust. And the recipient upon which we pin our faith and our
trust can never be anything less than the One who is worthy and able and
utterly trustworthy.
LET’S PRAY:
Lord, I am grateful that the hope You offer me
enables me to face and accept reality while daring to believe You for change. I
don’t have to stick my head in the sand. I don’t have to live in denial. I can
face the facts yet embrace holy hope. As I continue to trust You, teach me
continually to embrace holy hope by embracing and believing You. Today I
declare that I will dare to believe the promises You have whispered to my
heart. By Your effusive grace I will hold on to hope. In the strong name of
Jesus, Amen.
