An Emoji devotions for Sun 30th May, 2021

Topic: Consistency of Hope

Highlight:

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13

Hope is a Miracle. It is the basis of livelihood for all things. We must learn the way of hope because in everything we do, we hope in one thing. Hope gives light and light gives life. When there is light, people move and when they move, there is chance to grow. People die when their hope is lost. I pray that your hope will not be hidden behind the shades of darkness in Jesus name. Our Lord Jesus Christ is hoping that his followers would one day bear fruit by showing kindness to others in his name. He said in John 15:9 NLT that "When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." If you want to give God great joy, you must be hopeful in Jesus always. How? In John 15:10 Jesus Christ is hopeful in God by obeying His commandments to lay down his life for the salvation of man. He wants us to be hopeful in Him likewise by Obeying his commands. In everything that God created, Hope is one of the most consistent thing. Sun has never fail, river never ceases to flow, the wind never stops and each night turns into day . They always obey the commands of God. It is a thing of panic when human deviates from hoping in their maker and turn their hope to something else. "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." Psalms 30:5

If you are passing through uncertainty but are consistent in hope, it is guaranteed that better days will definitely come. It is hope that makes a child of God to plead for mercy Not their sin. God understands what you are going through right now but what is the gain if you keep silent about it. In Psalm 116:1 David said "I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy." When you are always praying and seeking God's approval, You are hopeful. The river gives water to the earth and the earth yield plants that bear fruits and The fruits serves as food to all. Hope is a process. Whoever is consistent in Hope will always have understanding to be patient that God is working on their matter. Habakkuk 2:3b "... If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed."

If you have the opportunity of reading this devotion, keep it and share it to let people know that God will do something about their situation, that they should not give up. Tell them that this is the time to hope more and more in our Lord Jesus Christ. Come Lord Jesus. Amen.

Prayer: Eternal Rock of Ages. I am hoping in your light. Please do not let darkness disturb my hope in you. I pray for mercy and help. I love you because you will hear me. In Jesus name. Amen.
