I am concerned that modern Christians don’t live with
anticipation nor expectation that God will bring about change. Like those who
told Peter that believing Jesus would return was unrealistic because things had
continued like they had since He left and there was no evidence things would be
any different.
Awaking each morning to the same conditions you went to bed
with, after a while, makes you lose hope it will ever be any different.
But God is not affected by those conditions. He is able to
make all things new, to do exceedingly abundantly beyond what we expect, to
turn our mourning into laughter.
When He does that
is immaterial. That He does that is
our promise of a new day. Hope is designed to cover the distance from our cry
to God’s provision. It helps us live in the meantime.
Today, I choose to live in hope, knowing God is faithful and
the provision is on the way!
