CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I hope you are had a good workout. [Use hand to show my modest level of hope]

I hope I have pizza for dinner. [Use hand to show my low level of hope]

I am sure many of you hope UT wins a national championship  [Use hand to show a high level of hope]

I hope that Jesus is the son of God, that his life was pure, perfect and sinless, that his death atoned for my sins, that he overcame death in his resurrection and that he is seated at the right hand of God while his spirit fills my heart and walks with me daily. [Use hand to show my highest level of hope]

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Are your resources of time, money and thought focused on this hope or have you placed your hope elsewhere?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was reading a devotional by Paul David Tripp. On one day he says “If God intended for all the days of your life to be easy, they would be. No, in grace, he intends for your days to be his tools of refinement.”

If it was up to me and MY agenda, everyday would bring peace, comfort, pleasure, predictability. I’d have all the money I needed. I’d never be sick. My relationships would be flawless. Suffering would not be part of that. Waking up at 4:50 to exercise would not be part of that. Losing a job, marriage, a friend or a family member would not be in that equation. We like to define God’s goodness, faithfulness, love by how he meets our agenda.

But…

‘Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. ‘
James 1:2-4

‘You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith — more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire — may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ‘
1 Peter 1:6-7

‘Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ‘
Romans 5:1-5

There are many passages like this…God is not working to meet our personal definition of happiness. And when we are expecting that, we are going to be disappointed. We’re going to wonder where he is and if he really loves us. But if we understand that just maybe God is after something better, which is our becoming holy (sanctified). We don’t get stronger when we “fart-sack”, right? We don’t learn how to win until we’ve been beaten a few times and we see the better plan. So just remember that his love and his plan is much greater than ours. He offers true hope and redemption and I hope you’ll take that with you today. Trust in that and have courage.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have had something on my heart recently that often comes back around. I am sure we all think often about the examples we set for those around us. A lot of times these are not intentional because they aren’t planned…they just happen because someone is watching. I heard a song on the radio in the morning yesterday as I was driving to work. It was “Watching you” by Rodney Atkins. In this song, he lists a couple of examples that he inadvertently sets for his son. One of them was a four letter word that he let slip and another was his prayer for help to be a better example. His son witnessed both and mimicked his dad because he wanted to be just like him. This got me thinking about the example that I set for my children. Do I let things slip and is this the only type of example that I show? Or do I intentionally show an example that I would be proud to have my children follow?

“Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 NASB1995

“what did you gain by regularly praying to God?” the man replied, “Little. But, let me tell you what I lost: anger, ego, depression, insecurity and fear.”

Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not gaining but losing.
