Praying for Cam as he prepares to preach. Also for his move to Oregon.
I Thessalonians 1:3- "Endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ"
So far i have been thinking about "work produced by faith", "labor prompted by love" and now "endurance inspired by hope". Faith, Hope, and Love!
These three seem to infuse every thing in the Christian life. Hope is more than just wishful thinking, it's assurance that God keeps his promises. How can hope spur me on toward endurance? I give up on things pretty easily...if things get hard, I am tempted to back out or shut down. In marriage, parenthood, ministry...
I'm definitely not a person who sees the glass half full, or sees the good that God can bring from a situation. I always see the worst.
What disciplines can I embrace that would help me begin to see the world through the eyes of hope instead of defeat?
