Are we on-hold about something today? 

Maybe our physical health? 
        ...the sickness or infection won't leave.  
                ...the diagnosis (or diagnoses) keep snowballing.  

Or are we trapped today in a mental cage?  The door is unlocked, but still, we sit in fear...mostly of the unknown.  

Or maybe it feels as if God has pressed the pause-button in a certain area of our lives.  It happens to be the one area that we are desperate for direction in.  But..nothing.  We've been waiting.  And still today...we wait.  

But in the wait, God speaks a Word:

For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.  ~Hebrews 3:14

Yes, this verse does mean eternity-in-Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  That is exactly what this hope-filled verse refers to.  But, I know (and trust!) that this verse is also for our here and now.  For today!  
..For the waiting-room-of-life that we find ourselves sitting in.  
    ...For the answers that we await.  
        ...For the direction that we desire.  
            ...For the hopeless area that we need renewed hope for.

Here is our hope: 

For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.  ~Hebrews 3:14

How do we know?

How can we be sure? 

    Because: if we know and love God (Tell Him you love Him today!): then we are His house. 

And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.  ~Hebrews 3:6

Brothers and Sisters in Christ: we are God’s house.  Have hope today.

In the wait.  In the healing.  In the mundane.  In the rollercoaster.  In the chaos.  In the downpour and in the inferred hopelessness of today: Have hope today.

As we pray for direction, know that it will come.  Because Jesus Christ is in charge of us and our hope is in Him.  

But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.  ~Hebrews 3:6

Let's keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ today.

We can keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ today.

You and me: we will!  

We will keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ (Hebrews 3:6) today, and we can do that because He promises that we will share in all that belongs to Christ...as long as we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed (Hebrews 3:14).

Here we go!  Let's trust Him firmly today, and whatever we are "waiting" for: keep staying faithful (and hope-filled) about it: to the end.

Blessings,

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
