Proverbs 17:1-20
1 Timothy 3:1-16
Matthew 12:43-50
Evening Psalms 48, 4
"His pleasure is not in the strength of
the horse,
nor His delight in the legs of a man;
the Lord delights in those who fear
Him,
who put their hope in His unfailing
love."
Psalm 147:10-11
God does not value the same things people value.Let's be people after God's own heart; people who put our hope in His unfailing love!
We need to exercise the muscles of our hearts that hope in Him to hope more. One thing we can do for one another to help exercise those muscles is share with each other the things that make us hope more. For example, one of the things that makes me hope in God's love is the love I feel for my wife, my children (including my son-in-law) and my grandchildren. It's a love so intense I feel at times as if it may consume me! When I remember that the love I feel is a tiny spark in comparison to the conflagration of God's love for us, I hope more in His love.
What makes you hope in God's love?
