Today we needed a half page filler in our magazine and this comes from Bonnie, her first post.
H O P E We've placed our hope in many things, haven't we?
hope (hōp) v - the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out well.
n - a person or thing in which expectations are centered.
As of today, July 30th, we're all hoping our country's leaders will do the right thing, although none of us are totally sure what that is. By the time you're reading this, the decision will have been made and we will be living with the consequences.
"I was up early this morning. The Lord brought to my attention the parallel between our financial situation & the government's. It took us many years to get to this point. Years of hiding our heads in the sand & pretending we didn't know we had a problem, knowing that someday we were going to have to face it but not knowing how to fix it, how to even begin to fix it, because it was so overwhelming for us. Our government has been doing exactly what we have done. Aware that there is a problem but acting like nothing is wrong. God knows where this is going & all we can do is continue to ask Him what He wants us to do." -Anonymous friend
Psalm 71 ... I run for dear life to God. I'll never live to regret it. Do what you do so well, get me out of this mess and up on my feet. Put your ear to the ground and listen, give me space for salvation. Be a guest room where I can retreat; You said Your door was always open! You're my salvation -- my vast, granite fortress.
I hope our government does what this verse says to do, but more importantly, I hope we all do it first for ourselves!!
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Make sure you place your hope in the right Thing!!
