COT:

Exodus — when Moses asks God to send someone else —

“In this moment, Moses does what we often do when God calls us. We compare our natural gifts and abilities to the size of the task, to gauge whether we are capable of doing what God has called us to do. God doesn’t call us because we have, in ourselves, everything we need to accomplish what he’s calling us to do.
No, he calls weak and broken people to do huge and important things because He is able. He is with us, and he empowers us to do what he wills for us to do. Every one of God’s commands is accompanied by his empowering grace. Exodus 4 records how God demonstrates his power to fearful Moses to assure him that he will go down to Egypt and stand before Pharaoh not in his own power, but in the awesome power of the King of kings and the Lord of lords” — Paul Tripp from Everyday Gospel

COT:

One of the names of our Savior Jesus Christ that I’ve been pondering is Hope of the World. These are some thoughts of the hope He gives.

Hope to be known, seen, and loved 100%, as we are.

Hope to change, hope that He who sees us as we are can help us become something better. Hope that we can overcome weaknesses so deep we may even consider them part of our personality or identity, but that we know deep down aren’t in line with our truest, divine identity. Hope that we can overcome stagnation and despair, and find peace for our guilt, relief for our regrets.

Hope that we and those we love will live again.

Hope that we can start again. And again. And again and again. Hope for second chances, clean slates, new beginnings. Hope that there is no such thing as the end.

Hope that the joy we can feel right now doesn’t depend on the circumstances of our lives, but on the focus of our lives.

Jesus Christ is that never ending source of hope and joy. May we each feel His hope this Christmas season!
