It takes great courage to live hope because there are so many signs that our culture is growing in wickedness and destruction. Newscasters love to point out all that’s wrong in our neighborhoods, how this thing or that can harm us.
Yes, we must remain vigilant and aware, but I believe these days are calling us to catch a Godly vision for how things can be.
Hope sees this vision for how our lives can reveal the beauty and glory of God. But then works to bring this vision to life. It stays focused on that vision, allowing our steps to be guided by it.
I believe that God is asking me to help build his kingdom of love here on Earth. But it requires me to move into dark places where there doesn’t appear to be much love or hope.
Hang on to the vision. God will guide you and equip you to do his hope-building work.
Remember, choose hope today.
I needed this today! Thank you! I have been focusing on Philippians 4:8 "Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, pleasing, commendable ... if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." I just had some bookmarks made with this scripture and I intend to distribute them I'm endeavoring to do a small act seeking to dispel the negativity that is so prevalent today. However, I don't seek to be blind to the dark that needs light. And your Minute today spoke to me about that. Again, thank you!
