Word Filled Wednesday – Rest In God…

WFWlogo

Rest in God alone, my soul,
    for my hope comes from Him.

Psalms 62:5

sunset verse

Hope.  It is a powerful source of strength for us at times to keep going, to continue on and it gives us something to hold onto.  But often times, hope deceives and escapes us.  Things we  hope for, fall through.  Sickness, difficult situations, trials are things that can shake our hope. 

What a wonderful surge of strength God’s Word is when we remember to rest in Him alone and know that He is our hope.  A hope that endures forever and will not leave us or forsake us.  A steadfast hope knowing that God is and will provide all that we need.  What a comforting and peaceful truth that we can wrap around our heart and truly rest in Him.

  1. HOPE, hope that comes from God, has the power to lift up the downhearted and to encourage those in mourning. I love HOPE that comes from faith in Beloved :)

  2. HOPE is one of my favorite words - I have several things around the house with the word on them...just a reminder of all that is promised to us as believers - especially that hope for the future and eternity:)

  10. Have spent the last free weeks looking at hope and it was the theme of Last Weeks WFW Prisoners of Hope.
    We so need hope and to know the focus of our hope and its security.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
