Knowing God’s Hope (Psalm 98:3; Titus 2:13)
All humans have an appetite for hope. We are longing for anything that could fill us with hope. For the past 10 days, the verses in the “Daily Texts” have connected us with this yearning for hope. Our problem is how do we get the satisfying hope that our souls long for. The “way” we follow is filled with false hopes and these do lead to unfulfilled endings. What can we learn from the way of Jesus? After 40 days in the wilderness, He was hungry and He was longing for food. He was tempted to find hope by magically turning the stones in front of Him into a nice, warm loaf of bread. But Jesus resisted. He proclaimed to the devil that was tempting Him, “It is written, ‘man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4). Jesus trusted every word that came from the mouth of God. Those words are the bread of life that fed His soul. So how are you doing in your search for hope? Do you need help? Remember: ask, seek, knock. God created this hunger. God will help you satisfy it.
