† Heads or Tails † For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Rom 8:24-25 ESV Oh, I don’t want to face tomorrow. I have a bad feeling about this. On and on we go, into a spiral of self-pity and hopelessness. Hope can be defined as expectation, trust and confidence. Knowing that something good is coming your way. Fear can be defined as anxious, apprehensive, alarmed, or dread. Knowing that something bad is coming your way. They seem to be almost opposite, and you cannot walk in one while walking in the other. A strange thing is that neither of these are seen. Both are invisible, like the wind, and it really takes just as much faith and energy to believe one as the other. But one builds you up, and the other brings you down. Do not waste your energy on fear, channel it into hope. Instead of confessing what might happen, confess what you want to happen, then act accordingly and wait patiently for it to come to pass. God hears your prayers. He is not deaf. We just learn to grow up a little and trust Him along the way. Share this on Facebook Yours in Christ, Dion Todd - Pastor/Servant
