Where do you place your hope? The family you were born into was no accident. The country you live in, the language you speak, the friends you have, your weaknesses, mistakes you have made, poor decisions—none of them are accidents to God. Failures with your spouse and children, things you wish you had done differently, painful experiences—none of them are accidents to God. Joseph’s brothers intended to harm him, but later in life Joseph saw that it was God’s intent to bless him through the sinful actions of his brothers. They meant it for evil; God meant it for good. I cannot look back without realizing that my life has been intrinsically weaved, orchestrated and guided by God’s masterful hands.
Know that God is near to all who call on him. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. For many of us we do not place our hope in things on this earth. If President Trump and Q are operating with God’s blessing then the things we talk about will happen in due course. If not, we are patient, understanding that God is and has always been in charge. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
