Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.”
What a profound statement!
Lately hope seems to be something I have seen more of in my rearview mirror than right in front of me. It seems I have spent more time asking the “why” questions to God rather than holding onto the hope He promises in His Word.
Psalm 33:20 says, We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
Lately for me it’s been more like “I’m tired of waiting. All I have done is wait. My hope is fading and I need your help.”
But once God gets me still enough to listen, I see the hope again. It’s a daily battle to be honest. More like a minute by minute battle. A friend recently told me to take it two minutes at a time. I’m living by her advice and by the powerful Word of my God who promises hope. His promises that say Be still Sundi Jo and know who I am. Put your hope in me. Put your hope in My Word. Put your hope in my unfailing love.
Two minutes at a time. Two minutes at a time.
Tell me about your hope.
Holding Onto Hope
