Checking into God’s Presence... Today is about another message that came through a friend; it has been modified to fit the daily devotional and it is titled "keep hope alive". Hope if we believe can give us an inheritance which can be incorruptible, undefiled and cannot fade away but reserved for us in heaven based on our relationship with God. Apostle Paul declares; “blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:” 1 Peter 1:3-6 Our hope in God makes today possible and tomorrow very attractive but less threatening. Hope too can make death bearable: “for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” This thought alone should represent the fulcrum of our energy before His Presence so our peace can be guaranteed. However, we can only go forward in life if we believe and put our hope in Him who is I Am that I Am, irrespective of what life may throw at us. May the Lord renew our hope in Him and give us reasons to serve and honour Him in Jesus Name. Amen Just checking into His Presence...
