Okay, so it's been awhile, but I finished a new devotional. (the positive side) Ready for some more hope? Well, here we are at another New Year, and our minds are all
clicking along at light speed thinking about what this year holds. So with that in mind I wanted to take a
moment to encourage you to get your hopes nice and high.
Hebrews 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure. It enters the inner
sanctuary behind the curtain.” (NIV)
The inner sanctuary behind the curtain is where God’s
spirit dwelled in the Mosaic Tabernacle.
Now this all takes place in our heart, as God has made us His dwelling
place. So in our hearts it is our hopes
that lead the way in to see God. It
makes sense, I go in to worship and pray as I stir up the hope for God’s mighty
hand to move in my life. The scripture
also says that hope is an anchor for our soul. Sometimes our soul could use a
little anchoring. If my soul is like a
boat, sometimes my emotions try and get me off course. Sometimes fear or doubt could have us
wondering where God is in our lives.
When a storm hits, an anchor is just what the boat needs to keep it
steady. I don’t know what you’re going
through today, but I do know that the Hope of Jesus, the hope he brings, well
that hope has us trusting in God, relaxing in the inner sanctuary… now listen
to Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who
promised is faithful!” So for 2013, if
your hope is a cup of coffee, make it a venti.
Take hold of that hope! Put all
of your hope in God. Get your hope big
and hopping.
