Band-Aids

"We have run to God for safety. Now his promise should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us." Hebrews 6:18

Have you ever lost your glasses or your keys and looked everywhere for them, only to have someone point out that they're right in front of you? God's hope is like that - right in front of us, but we don't always see it. Our eyes are too busy searching for things we think will infuse hope: financial security, makeovers, losing weight, marriage, a new baby. But these are only Band-Aids. Our true hope is in Christ alone.

Dear Lord, Hope is being sure of in whom we have placed our faith and certain of what we do not see. We can't see hope, but there's no doubt when it's alive within us. Praise You for living hope! Bless our day, Amen.

Hope your Monday is going well.
Blessings,
