To Hope For Hope

Once again, we wake up, look at the clock, find we are already late for work, begin rushing to make up the time and get to a job we really and honestly don't like. Making a living just until the hope we have pans out and becomes our reality. We're hoping for the hope to come to pass. Sometimes we wonder if we should just give up on the hope, because the longer we keep the hope alive, the farther away it seems, and in those quiet moments, we find ourselves screaming inside, is it really worth it, should i keep on hoping, or just make a way for myself, any way will do, so long as i get the same results the hope promises..........

Before i continue, i'd like you to know that this post is basically for the Christian folks who truly are waiting on God, hoping on Him and who sometimes can't find the courage to continue.

So, if you've ever woken up to frustration, despair and disillusionment, i have good news for you. God in His infinite mercy and grace is still in control of your life, why? cos you still have the little you have. Left to the devil, he would strip you of everything that even speaks of God's faithfulness in your life, as a way to discourage others from joining your faith. So God still rules in your affairs. The truth is the devil can't take you away from God, only you can do that. He might distract you for a while, and sometimes that while could be quite long, but the basic Father - Son relationship still remains. And even if you are not having fellowship with your heavenly Father, your relationship with Him still remains. And He's waiting for you to ask in faith, AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS TO YOU TO DO, 'cos we mostly forget to listen. To turn that hope He promised you into your daily reality, the key is LISTENING. Listen to His words. They hold the key to birthing the supernatural God has promised you. Now it's not enough to hold the key, you need to insert it in the lock and turn it, to open the door. So after you've heard Him, do what He asked you to do. Simple enough, right? For a lot of us, that is the hardest thing ever. We are much too mindful of people's opinions, their reactions and eventual treatment of us. Case in point, imagine a young Hebrew lad, just led out of Egypt by Moses and now stuck between the Red sea and the advancing army of Pharaoh. Surely he must have wondered what a fix he got himself into by following Moses. All he can think of is which is the better way to die, drowning or by a soldiers' blade. The he sees Moses walk up to the brow of a small hill just above the shoreline of the sea and points his Shepherd's staff at it. And he's thinking, what a ludicrous thing to do, telling us all to march into the water. But then, the sea begins to rumble, and splash, and in response to Moses's outstretched staff, divides and dry ground appears. The young lad must have stood in awe and shock at the sight before him. The awkwardness of the task God assigned Moses, to overcome that particular obstacle could be said to be ridiculous. Yet in the obedience of Moses, a whole nation was delivered from an advancing army. So you have a hope you are looking forward to, you have the key of God's commandment on that promise, now turn that key and open the door onto your glorious promise.
God is waiting on you.........
