This week I have been following several things.....the Health Care Reform Bill, March Madness and my Beth Moore bible study on Daniel, to name a few things....
Sometimes I get pretty down looking at this world and the state it is in. I'm not a fan of this particular government leadership and state of affairs. However, I truly pray for our President and leaders daily. I believe in prayer and power of our Almighty God. But sometimes this world can overshadow my hope.
I occasionally start thinking that this world is turning so dark that there is no hope. I remind myself some of the scripture that supports this; John 15:18 and John 16:33. This world is not our home, and in this world, we will have TROUBLE! I start thinking that there is no hope for this world and that our only hope is in the Lord, in Heaven. I remind myself daily that as believing Christians, we have another world we are heading to that is wonderful and perfect and lovely, but we live in a God-forsaken world.
This week in my bible study of Daniel, Beth Moore, mentioned some things that gave me more hope, hope for this world. She mentioned that this world is NOT God-forsaken. That God LOVES this world and He is still in this world. In fact, that God so loves this world he sent Jesus Christ to us that we might have hope!! (John 3:16) I love it when God uses something to speak just to me....just to us, especially something that was recorded a couple of years ago.,.,..but He used it this week. That is a living God.
So even though I know this world is not my home, that I'm just passing through, that I have eternal hope in Christ in Heaven, I cannot forget that God LOVES this world - this dark world we live in.
There is hope. But let's keep praying for our world, our leaders, our communities and our families anyway!
And by the way, I'm still at 50% in my March Madness bracket!! Not bad for a football fan.
