Went to the
bank today for the first time in some weeks.
I must admit
it was a bit eerie or even scary.
Everyone had
masks on and after each customer the bank manager wiped the countertops which
is a good thing.
But you
could see the eyes of those around me a sense of uncertainty and fear.
People who
were once neighbors were now being seen as threats.
I understand
this but because of my faith in the Lord my footing is far more sure.
Romans
15:13 (ESV)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Most people
today are probably not experiencing the Joy Paul is speaking about here.
But the Christians
hope is in far more than what this world is offering.
Because of
the Holy Spirit in us we have a hope in things the world cannot understand.
Our hope is
in Christ Jesus, and while I am not sure what our immediate future holds. I am
totally convinced that our eternal future is sure.
Someone reminded
me the other day of this: sometimes God put you in uncomfortable and even
painful places because He needs you to realize that you don’t need anybody or
anything but Him.
God promises
are sure
This too
will pass
