Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope! - Romans 15:13 (MSG) She seemed hopeless. Her path looked totally obscure from her viewpoint. I prayed for my friend’s hope to be revived and her eyes to be opened to HIS faithfulness. Recently she shared with me how her hope had been glo- riously renewed! Yet her circumstances had remained exactly the same. So what had changed? Friends, she had now come to expect the God of Hope to do a new work in her life! There have been times in my life when I expected nothing from the LORD. And nothing is what I received. It is so natural to allow our circumstances to dictate our moods. BUT, how mighty are the seeds of hope found in the Word of God that put HIS super in our natural! In His never-ending love for us, He fills our hearts with exuberant heavenly hope in the difficult and lackluster moments of living. HIS Word gives life and when we expect Him to move in our situations, HE will! We can cultivate these seeds of hope by: • ASKING God for an expectant and hopeful heart. (You have not because you ask not. - James 4:2) • SOWING the seeds of faith (The Word of God) into our hearts through meditation on HIS Word and memorization. • WAITING EXPECTANTLY for God to give the increase. Hope literally means ‘confident expectation’. His Word NEVER returns void, but accom- plishes ALL for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). HIS Seed cannot help but SPROUT...it is heavenly seed after all! Hope comes only from the Author of Hope. Look to Him and He will give you the eyes of renewed hope, joy and peace in your situation. Abba Father, thank You for the privilege of loving You in return! Give me understanding and I will keep Your law. YES, I will observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go the path of Your commandments for in them do I delight. Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity and restore me to vigorous life and health in YOUR ways. Establish Your Word and confirm Your promise to Your servant, which is for those who reverently fear and devotedly worship You. (Psalm 119:34-38)
