Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree
of life.
~ Proverbs 13:12
Sometimes being hopeful seems....well, hopeless! We hope, we wait, we watch
and pray, and as each day passes with no sign of the hope coming to pass, we
slowly give up. It seems pointless to hang on. Our hopes will never come
true, our prayers will never be answered....or so we think.
Is hoping in God in vain for us? Is waiting for the promises of His word
futile? No! God's timing is not our timing. He sees our lives far more
clearly than we ourselves can, and His timing is perfect. He is the Master
Weaver, working all things according to His plans, seeking to give His best
to His children, crying with them but knowing the joy that lies ahead. He
knows the minutes of our days and knows just the right time to provide the
answer to our prayers, our hopes, our dreams. Psalm 30:5 says "Weeping may
endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
Hang on in this time of hopelessness and despair, and rejoice! For you have
a Living Hope within you, One who gave His life for you and desires to give
you His best. Morning is coming, and it's closer than you realize. God is
working in the darkness, and His greatest works are done there, and when the
light comes His glory will be revealed. You are His child, His love, His
dream, and He will never leave you or forsake you. Trust in Him today and
He will be faithful, for that is His nature.
In Jesus' name,
Amen!!
