BEARERS OF HOPE

PRAYER JOURNAL 3/28/2020

Colossians 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the HOPE of Glory.

I hop out of bed, stretch to get the blood flowing, wash my face, brush my teeth, grab a cup of coffee and my laptop…BIG MISTAKE…should have snuggled under the cover for another hour.  Facebook – full of doom and gloom.   If I read one more negative post; one more, “my city is harder hit than your city,” one more, “the federal government needs to be our sugar-daddy,” I think I will explode.

Turn on the news – BIG MISTAKE…should have settled in with my Bible.  Every Network – full of doom and gloom.  The latest infection count, the latest death count, this hospital won’t treat patients, this governor will not allow certain medicines…Please put on a cute little dog chasing its tail…I need some relief.

ANYONE ELSE, tired of it all and longing for sunshine and roses…just a little bit of good news? 

WELL HERE YOU GO…

God did not send this virus but He is working in the midst of it and if we will concentrate on His goodness, He will open our eyes to see His faithfulness…count your blessings instead of your woes.

God is using men and women of faith to bring good news and bless hurting and confused men and women…let Him use you.

God loves us all and has plan has not been thwarted by dire news reports, the blame game or even our fear…Yes, His throne is still occupied BY HIM!

God’s mercies are new EVERY MORNING and in Michigan it is still early enough to open yourself up and let His Mercy flow through and surround you.

AND ONE MORE….

God has revealed Himself to us; the Mysteries that the Men and Women of Faith under the Old Covenant longed to look into have been made known to us. 

WE HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT; CHRIST IN US! WE ARE BEARERS OF HOPE!

Let that HOPE shine through today.  Send an EMAIL OF HOPE; make a PHONE CALL OF HOPE; post a STATUS UPDATE OF HOPE.

BE A BEARER OF HOPE!

IT’S A NEW DAY; GOD HAS FRESH MERCIES; REJOICE IN HOPE!
