"The Lord says: The time is coming when I will do the things I promised," Jeremiah 33:14.
That line encapsulates our times. God promises. We hope. But wait! This hope is not like wishing to win the lottery. No. That kind of dead hope just wishes foolishly against all odds. It fails to tell of the thousands whose odds were exactly that: The house wins; they lose. And they walk away feeling the feeling of fools. No. Our hope rests in a God who does not gamble against our lives. Our hope nests in the God who banks on our sure gain. Who promises faithfully to secure our safety and salvation through Jesus' resurrection. Who's for us, not against us. A living hope.
With a brother or sister today, we talk of God's faithfulness and the guarantee of our hope: Jesus. And, together, we anticipate fulfillment of God's gracious plans. Yeah.
