Isn’t it wonderful to know that we have a reasonable God? One who wants to know the deepest desires of our hearts? One who wants and seeks a relationship with us?
We serve a God of reconciliation. One who wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. One who already knows our thoughts but wants to hear them from us in our own words. He delights in that.
People everywhere are seeking something, but too often they are asking the world to supply something it never can. Real Peace. But not the kind the world offers. The kind only God can give. Real and lasting peace. The kind of peace that comes despite every circumstance life throws at us.
Too often we look to the world for answers……we think the best and brightest humanity has to offer is good enough. It reminds me of that old song, “Looking for love in all the wrong places.” When we look to the world for our answers we will come up empty every time.
Only when we begin to entertain the possibility of something bigger than ourselves, hope blooms like the crack of the dawn spilling over a mountain.
This is our future, and it is indeed, a future filled with hope. The world doesn’t have the answers or the hope we need for our future, but God does. This is the future God has for us……
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied exactly to the letter all the facts concerning the birth of Jesus.
The rest is history.
God has always had hope for the world…….and that hope came through Jesus.
I wish you a day filled with His peace today wherever your path takes you and that you have a real sense of His presence…….
How lovely! This is the second blog I've read today about 'HOPE!'
And the verse about God reasoning things out with us and our sins white as wool-this verse came to me as I walked this morning, and I thought of the same thing-how neat it was that God wants us to hash things out with Him. Isn't it amazing too, that He would know we need to toss that particular topic around a lot in our heads-the topic of our sins…Sometimes so very hard to FEEL forgiven, though we know we are. Hope, hope and more hope. I have even thought of having that word tatooed on my wrist. Really I have.
Love, Debra
So much truth here, but this is what I'm hanging onto tonight:
This God … “who already knows our thoughts but wants to hear them from us in our own words.”
Thank you for the reminder. He knows. He knows.
