Hope

Posted on by Sara

I was going to bed the other night and noticed my “hope” sign was still on.
Not much more to say – let’s keep remembering that hope is not based on headlines or numbers, but on the deep, reassuring promises of a God who promises to walk through the fire with us!


“… tribulation (suffering) brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us”! Romans 5

The heavens declare

I got to take a drive today. It felt good …

It’s easy to feel “trapped” these days. We feel like we need a reason to go somewhere – but how about just stepping out on your porch? Take a drive around the block? Let’s be creative, let’s be smart, but let’s keep breathing!

“The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the works of His hands!” Psalm 19:1

“Step outside your front door and look at today’s stage. Speak. God will reply.

He will speak to you.

He gave you senses. Use them. He will parade His art. He will give you a scene, a setting for the day. He will give you conflict to overcome, opportunities for your character to grow or fail. But do not expect Him to speak in English. And do not expect Him to stay on whatever topic you may choose… You are on your porch. Look at the blue sky…” ND Wilson

“Fear not. Peace be to you. Be strong, yes, be strong! So when He spoke to me, I was strengthened…” Daniel 10:19

Together we can fly anywhere…

I find my gaze lingering a little longer on my favorite mug tonight … because sometimes in the middle of all the reality around is, we need to step outside, look up at the sky again, and let our spirits fly even when we may feel a bit stuck, confused, concerned (fill in the blank here) To that end, I am going to attempt to post a picture a day of something that makes me smile, helps me see the fingerprint of God, or just lifts my spirits above words like “quarantine”. As we stay on top of important and pressing matters that crowd around us these days, let’s practice some soul care as well.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121.
