It is so easy to look around at the chaos in this world and lose hope; hope in justice, hope in love, hope in peace, etc. If we give into this temptation, however, we will become paralyzed with worry and despair.
It is at this time we need to remember where real true pure hope comes from. It comes from our Lord, Jesus. It is only when we go to Him and remember the promises in His word that we can be replenished with hope. This hope is supernatural and goes beyond our circumstances. It brings light. It seeks out love and peace and promises salvation. This hope also gives us the power and grace to actively spread these qualities back into the world.
Hope in the Lord on this “Not Gonna Worry” Wednesday.
My soul faints with longing for your salvation,
but I have put my hope in your word.
Psalm 119:81
