Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (Jeremiah 33:2,3 ESV)
The Right Words and Hope
I liked it when my grandfather wrote to me. He did not write often, but his letters were usually informative, encouraging, and helpful. When I knew a letter was coming, I checked the mailbox eagerly and early.
I sometimes look forward to God’s Letters in the same way. I should look forward to God’s Letters more often. He knew more than my grandfather knew. He loved me more than my grandfather loved me. He had more wisdom than my grandfather had. God’s Letters can be the highlight of every day!
The more troubles we encounter, the more hope we are offered by God’s right Words.
The more pain we are suffering, the more hope we are offered by God’s right Words.
The more lost we are, the more hope we are offered by God’s right Words.
As much as I value good feelings, God’s Words give me more. As much as I value God’s people, God’s Words give me more. As much as I value the life God has given me so far, God’s Words give me more.
Because His Words and not just words. They are the right Words that we need.
Take the hope God grants us.
