“We’ll hold it close, but fly it higher
Proclaim it on every distant shore…”
There is no hope like the hope that Jesus gives.
There is no strength like the strength worshiping Him brings.
There is no peace like the peace of trusting the Lord.
“It calls in the night if you still can hear it
A whisper to stir a failing heart-
In every fiery determination,
There was this moment in the dark.”
When I pray for people around the world, I know that if they have Jesus, if they know Him, they have a consolation to match their suffering.
So I pray for believers to have food, shelter, healthcare, safety – but I also pray even more so for their spirits to remain strong, that they would have the Word of God tucked in their mind, that they would feel His presence as they pray, and that they would have a community of believers with whom to worship.
We are a people of Hope.
Don’t be a naysayer; don’t be cynical.
Our God has shown His character through the Word and the world, and His Hope- His invitation- will never even begin to waver or fade, even to the end.
And neither shall our’s!
