Thoughts from a Random Mind

 

I saw a sign recently that said in part, “Hope reflects belief.” With 2024 in the past and 2025 just beginning, we should pause for a moment to take stock of what we believe in. I believe in many things. Most of those things are tied to my strong belief in God. I can’t prove He is there, but I have chosen to believe that He is and that His grace has carried me to where I now stand. Millions of people believe as I do. Millions do not. That is their right. To those who do not, where does their hope come from? What is it based on? I am banking on the fact that the Bible is true. If it is, then it tells me all I need to know about God. It’s a strange concept, this believing in an invisible spirit being. I just know that I have relied on my belief in God for over 45 years and it has pulled me through some very difficult times. If hope truly reflects our beliefs than my future is bright and if you are in relationship with God, then yours is too. You see, God promises us a future filled with blessing, peace, and fulfillment. Without God how can there be any hope at all? What would it be based on, man’s abilities? They are finite, God’s are infinite. It only takes a spark of faith to give birth to hope. I can hope because if I live for God, following His guide for living – the Bible, I cannot fail. I know I can’t because there is no failure in God. Therein lies my hope for the future. Where does your hope lie and in whom? 

Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
