What Hope Do We Have?

Life is a journey and from its beginning to its end we are all influenced by the environment we live in. When we were old enough to choose our own way, our choices were likely impacted by what went on in our life journey to that point. What hope is there for us when what was sown into the early years of our life is what we are reaping today? 

When we first gave our will and life over to the care of God we knew little, if anything, about God’s ways. Our known ways and actions were like chains that bound and enslaved us to a life that was totally unmanageable. The only hope we have of eliminating our bondage is to unchain our mind from our actions and with God’s help release ourselves from our former slave master.  We need to keep saying no to the old path that dominates our thinking and continue treading the new path back to life. Each time we make that choice for the new path, it will become more firm under our feet and our old ways will be left behind. 

Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.  All day long I put my hope in you.  (Psalm 25:5 NLT) 

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1 NIV)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, My old ways need to be axed. Your word gives me hope to move forward in my life.  Please strengthen me to wholeheartedly tread the new path You have marked out for me.  Amen
