A Daily Devotional About daily worship in hope: Acts 14:15 "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. (NIV) When you worship in hope, you rest for a time with God. In worshipping with God in hope your worship brings forth your expectation of great things happening in the hands of God. Certainly there are times we have reason to doubt great things can happen for us. There is too much tragedy, pain, and suffering in the world to believe all of the tragedy, pain, and suffering will go away except at the last hour. Although God may not make all the darkness in the world go away in an instant right now, there will come a time upon Christ's return when all things will be made new. Upon Christ's return, all the darkness will disappear in the twinkling of an eye. If we are not alive on the earth when Jesus returns, we can all watch His return from Heaven where there is no more pain, suffering, or mourning. Even now, carrying the hope of Christ in joyful worship full of expectation makes every moment in our life a greater moment. Carrying the hope of Christ in worship turns our every darkness into a time when we can still affirm His love and power, even when we might be plagued by grief and loss. Can you take a little time each day for God, for prayer, for meditation, for reflection, and for giving thanks? Can you take a little time each day for a little daily worship in hope? |
