Choir Tour Devo - Living Hope
What happens with hope dies? Its depressing, when you know something you hoped for isn't going to happen. The Bible even says, "hope deferred makes the heart sick." Sometimes its easier not to "get your hopes up."
When you dare to hope what makes it more exciting to finally receive what you've hoped for? I would argue - time. The longer you wait the more amazing it is when your hope actually come about. And isn't it elating when you receive what you've hoped for after waiting for it for so long?
The Israelites waited for Jesus for 400 years. No wonder the Shepherds were so excited when they got the news. Once Jesus came and died for our sins imagine if he hadn't risen from the dead. We would have to go around saying our hope was dead. We had hope, but he's dead now. No thank you. My hope is alive. That's the kind of hope I want to tell people about and you have that chance today.
