“My Hope”
When we have out trust in God, no matter what our circumstances are, we can experience happiness, even through tears, because our hope and bliss is yet over there. Our lives are filled with disappointments, but our course is taking us to, “the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day, (Proverbs 4:18). Sometimes we find ourselves in the turmoil of the storms, the skies are black and it seems that the elements are going to take us under, and we say, “if I was truly a child of God, this would not be happening,”
Jeremiah 42:17; II Timothy 3:1
This morning about 7:30a.m. an old friend and dear precious lady, got her promotion from this troublesome life and is now breathing, without labor, the clean celestial air of Gods Holy Heaven. And glory to God, she has just now begun to live! The way of the believer is not always filled with fragrance of roses, bright days and peaceful contented summers. There are many storms, trials and dark days, clouds blot out the sunny days sometimes and darkness falls in the most critical times and we cry for light and understanding. Solomon says of our path in this life that, “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” (Proverbs 3:17).
But remember dear Child, the very best of Christians go through trials and tribulations, we must bear the cross. You see, in the Christians life, you are either in a storm, going into a storm or coming out of a storm. We have weak and timid times and our path is quite smooth, and then we learn to get stronger in our spiritual walk as we mature into grown-up, responsible saints. We then begin to see that the winds and waves, trials and tempest are there to exercise our faith and to lean not on our own dependence, but His.
“I’ll See”
In Him, I’m grounded, rooted and firm, In Him, I’ll rest, I’ll live and learn. In the sad evil days, for a short while I’ll cope; But one day I’ll see Heaven, His face, and my hope.
