Praise God, there is hope!

The word hope means: “to expect with confidence, trust, to desire with expectation of obtainment or fulfillment”. There are many in this world who have lost their hope. That is unfortunate because when one loses hope, one loses their joy and expectation of a better future. Well, I have good news for you. God is the God of hope, and as long as you are alive, God can shift things for you. He can turn things around in a moment. But its vital that you not lose hope. Romans 8:25 reveals that as long as we have hope, we have the strength to persevere. And in Romans 12:12, it tells us that hope causes us to rejoice. Today, our Heavenly Father is reminding us that He is the God of hope, and He says: “Do not lose your hope, your answer is on its way!

Ecclesiastes 9:4 (ERV) “There is hope for those who are still alive—it does not matter who they are…”

Opportunity knocks again!

Everyone get opportunities. Not everyone takes advantage of their opportunities. Opportunities have cycles and seasons. Most also have deadlines. The scriptures say that the ones who take advantage of opportunities are wise. But those who “sleep” during the harvest season and ignore opportunities act shamefully. The keys here are to be aware and ready when God provides us with the precious opportunities, and the mindset, fortitude and discipline to partner with God when He provides these opportunities. If you have missed past opportunities, don’t allow guilt and regret to overwhelm and paralyze you in any future opportunities. Instead, just ask God for forgiveness, and be ready as God will give you another opportunity. He will lovingly forgive you and reset the opportunity clock on your behalf!

Proverbs 10:5 “He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully.”
