Timothy 6:17 As
for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their
hopes on uncertain riches but on God who richly furnishes us with everything to
enjoy.
In today’s world one
could easily become a purveyor of doom and gloom, there are so many things that
stimulate negative thinking, and some people seem to thrive on it. Nobody knows
the future just as nobody can actually tell you whether we are going to have
rain next month, the situations that we face today determines the future. So
yes we are going to have difficulties and there will be failed crops and rising
inflation, the question is ‘so what?’
It is the way we face the
future that we find the hope for tomorrow, we still plant the seed in the hope
of a harvest, we still apply for the promotion even though we may not get it,
that is what hope is all about. When we allow the situation to determine what
we do, we allow the hope that we have to be eroded and we soon find ourselves
part of the doom and gloom. We keep our tomorrows bright by shining the hope we
have on them, we polish them with words of encouragement and we know that
nothing will stop us from having hope, except ourselves.
Be encouraged today to be a
person of hope.
David
Point to ponder: Keep hoping.
