HOPE

Psa 71:14 - But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

There are circumstances in all of our lives that cause us to wonder... wonder if bad things will continue to happen to us... wonder why it seems like everyone else gets a breakthrough but not us... wonder why our prayers are unanswered.

But then there is this thing called HOPE.

Hope:
–verb (used without object)
to feel that something desired may happen;
to place trust; rely (usually fol. by in ).

We are to HOPE in the Lord. We are to hope continually. WE are to place our trust in God and to rely on him. Not just some time, not just once and a while, but CONTINUALLY.

We are to always place our hope in Him.

AND we should be praising Him more and more while we're at it. While we are waiting and hoping and trusting, we should praise.

Sounds simple, but takes effort to do.

But it's so worth it.

No matter what is going on in your life right now, HOPE in the Lord. And praise Him and give Him glory while you're continually trusting Him.

What if Jesus meant what He said? - "If you love me..."

The thought occurred to me today.   What if Jesus meant what He said? He said a lot.   A whole lot. And if He is God, then we should listen to what He said. If He is our Lord, then we should listen to what He said. I want to go on a journey of exploring what He said.   He is the Word and He is God.   I think what He said is worth exploring and worth living by.   The first thing I want to look at is in John 14.   This will give the premise for the entire journey of seeking out what Jesus said.   Because if Jesus meant this… then the rest of what He said is VERY important. Jhn 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come ...

A thought

There are easy days. And then there are difficult days. This is my reassurance: God is constant and He is always faithful. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” – 2 Timothy 2:13

Ezekiel 14:12-23

I read this passage last night. I have seen a verse or two about it... but the entirety of it gripped me when I read it. I had never thought about it as a principle. "When a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness..." Then I was blown away by the men God used as examples. Noah, Daniel, Job. Men whose lives have a tremendous impact on the end-time saints. To be the only ones delivered in your righteousness. What was it like to watch an entire culture that God was not pleased with and see his judgment poured out accordingly. Righteous men - Noah, Daniel, Job - who stood, even when they stood alone. And yes, all three of those men, stood in their righteousness alone. They all faced scoffing and hatred of them. There are lessons in all of these men's lives. God judges nations. He judges lands that sin against the Lord in persistent unfaithfulness. But there are righteous ones in the midst of judgment. Eze 14:12-23 The word of the LORD came again to me...
