Hebrews 6:13-20 | What am I going to do about it?
Examine the Promise
Recently, my wife needed to go in to the hospital due to some complications after giving birth to my son. She and I had to visit the conversation of how to approach getting her the help she needs when we live on such a tight budget. It is an unfortunate reality but one we have had to face. Still, we had to wait to find out what the doctors would recommend. Of course, they recommended staying multiple nights and varying drugs and examinations and our hearts sank considering the bill that would follow. My parents eventually came in and shared with me that someone had offered to completely cover the medical expenses and just do what we can to take care of Priscilla. This promise changed the entire attitude we had towards the debt we would be in. It filled us with hope, and as a result, it changed our course of action to focus simply on getting the care for my wife that was needed.
We have experienced many times, in my own family, how promises can fill with hope and change the course of our lives. It is this pattern that moved us to Flagstaff. It is this pattern that placed me at Mountain View. It is this pattern that persists that keeps me in ministry. And it is this pattern that fills me with the joy of the Lord. If we are to be filled with hope at what the Lord is doing, we must examine what He is doing. We must acquaint ourselves with His promises. I will take this lesson and turn it into an exercise for you today.
Take out a piece of paper or a notebook. Write out all the promises you can think of that the Lord has given you with the death and resurrection of His Son. There are many more promises beyond that, but I believe that page will be filled up.
Once you have written those promises, write out what those promises mean for you. How do they impact your life or influence your day to day?
Reflect on that note and let your heart be uplifted with hope. Let it be an anchor to your soul as you see how the Lord is faithful to uphold His promises and will not forsake you. Rejoice in the Lord! Amen.
