Something Good
Something Good
Thursday, September 15
Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
It may feel too many of us that the forces arrayed against us are just too huge. One example of this that’s on my heart right now is for those of us who are holding firmly to the truths of the God, rather than being overwhelmed and swept away by the powerful currents of our world’s values and demands. Frankly, such forces are indeed huge. However, if you had the opportunity to sit and talk with people in all walks of life, you will discover the one thing that keeps us all and that is hope. Hope is the happy and confident anticipation of something good. Song writer says ‘something good is going to happen, something good is in store.’ It’s a powerful and universal inspiration, a rising tide in the life of all mankind.
Each of us, whether we are limping to the finish line or just setting sail, the inner man is daring us to believe that better is ahead. It is that unshakable feeling that today would be a bad day to give up. That light is just over the horizon.
Regardless of who you are or what circumstances maybe hovering over your life at this moment, you need hope to keep going until the next day. When you live in a sea of hope, there is always something refreshing.
Prayer for today: Dear Father, on the days when I am feeling hopeless, especially those days which challenge our faith in You, help us to focus our attention away from the size of the problem but more towards the hugeness of who You are. Amen.
