Hope that Abounds - 7/5/22

Hope that Abounds

Hey Family, today is a new day that Christ has made, and since He is still on the throne ruling and reigning in Heaven and on Earth with all sovereignty, we can live in the security of an abounding and infectious hope that the world can hold tight to. The hope that Christ brings about is not fleeting nor naively sought after. It is pure, dignifying, righteous, and best of all it is for all.

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, with how the world is going we need You to fully renew and add to our stock of hope each day. Our world is in darkness and to make strides towards the Kingdom of God increasing on Earth, we need Your light within us to bring about hope for today and tomorrow. Lord, You're the only one who can do this mighty work. No president, earthly authority, law, significant other, or a large amount of money could ever give us the lasting hope that is found in You, Jesus. So, Lord, please aid us in this Holy work by making us vessels for Your hope day in and day out. In Jesus Christ's beautiful name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

Hope-filled by the King

Romans 15:1‭-‬13

"We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” And again it is said, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him.” And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

Quote of the Day

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."

- Robert Fulghum
