Are you feeling hopeful these days?
The hope of warmer weather?
The hope of spring break?The hope of “normal”?
Maybe you even hope for a good parking place! 🙂
I love the instant gratification of things we hope for – things with a lower case ‘h’. It reminds me of sticker charts used to motivate children to brush teeth/clean rooms/walk the dog. Kids strive to get the chart all filled in with stickers so they can earn a special prize or treat. And then what?
What happens when we have to wait longer? Or try harder? Or trust more? Prayer, perseverance, and pure faith revolve around Hope with a capital ‘H’. Hope in our never-changing, ever-trustworthy, all-knowing God of the Universe!
Would You Rather….hope in a dollar store toy? Or Hope in Jesus?
“Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.” Psalm 62:5
