My Hope

I am generally optimistic and hopeful. I don’t always see life as “sunny side up”, but I do try hard to find the good that come out of most any situation. I also try to find the good in most everyone.  Jesus saw past a person’s exterior. He saw their heart. As I read this morning about what Isaiah was saying about Jesus many years before He came, my heart was moved to know Him more. Check this out….

¹⁵ But Jesus knew what they were planning. So he left that area, and many people followed him. He healed all the sick among them, ¹⁶ but he warned them not to reveal who he was. ¹⁷ This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him:

¹⁸ “Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen.
    He is my Beloved, who pleases me.
I will put my Spirit upon him,
    and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
¹⁹ He will not fight or shout
    or raise his voice in public.
²⁰ He will not crush the weakest reed
    or put out a flickering candle.
    Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
²¹ And his name will be the hope
    of all the world.” (Matthew 12:18-21 NLT)

Jesus is the Hope of the world.

He’s a Healer.

He’s a Counselor.

He’s a Teacher.

He’s a Servant.

He’s a Friend.

He’s a Savior.

All My Hope by Crowder

I can’t imagine my life without Him in it. He gives me peace and perspective all the time. He gives me counsel and He teaches me so patiently. I’m so thankful that I can call Him my friend. He’s the Hope of the world, but His Presence in me is real and shapes my perspective about everyone and everything.

Pressing On!
