May 2 Echoes of Eternity
And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in Thee.
Psalm 39:7
Hope! Hope! Hope! Hope is My gift in the interim time—when your heart is turned toward Me. There is no place for hopelessness in your relationship with Me, for the future—your future—is in My hand. Your sins of worry and fear are like acids that eat away at the hope I give you. Hope is like a beckoning light before you, and is meant to encourage you when things are difficult. It is a precious gift. Do not waste it!
My sovereign will none can thwart. That is why hope is a trustworthy guide. You do not need to understand all mysteries, how I shall accomplish My will—either in you or in others. But you do need to claim and cherish and nourish the gift of Hope.
Bid others be of good cheer. Too much fear darkens the hearts of My people. Bid them be of good cheer! The darkness cannot prevail because the true Light has come. Become a people of praise.
