Partners in Hope

Today is a day to honour Fathers. Some of us are Fathers. All of us have a Father. The relationship of a loving Father to his child is a picture of God's heart for us.

Demanding people believe they are entitled to what they deem to be their rights. On the other hand, a person making a respectful request recognizes that granting any request must be left to the discretion of the person being asked.

Through the wisdom of God’s Word in the Bible, and the understanding given us by the Holy Spirit, God will help us discern the plan He has for our lives.

Here we are today, in a new day that God is giving us.  God is also inviting us to shift our focus from past behaviour – either our own or that of others, to the forgiveness, healing and hope we can experience through the healing power of Jesus. 

The way to success and peace each day is to know and continue to put God’s ways into practice.  God’s words aren’t changing and it is our continuing practice of doing things His way that ultimately leads us to experience the good life for which we long.

Our God has been in the communication business for a long time thankfully, every word God speaks is flawless. What God says doesn’t need to change over time.  It’s accurate today and always will be.  We can find safety and take refuge in what He tells us.
