Hope

I have hope. Some may say that "God is not at work", but I see it all the time. I see it in the faces of so many that are committed to Him. I see it in the way God places people in our paths to get to know. I see it in the way that so many people are seeking "more" but can't quite seem to nail down what "more" is. I believe people want to serve God but are looking for someone who is faithful to lead the way. I believe people want to know the God of the Bible but are looking for those who are committed to finding Him themselves. In the book of Esther we don't see God's name mentioned even once, but you can see strongly that God's providence is there. He is there, behind it all orchestrating all that takes place. Why do I have hope you ask, because I know that the God of the Bible uses the weak to humble the proud. I know that human strength cannot even begin to compare to God's "weakness", if He indeed had any. I have hope because I'm not in charge of God pouring out His spirit on us all, He is. "Pour out your Holy Spirit Lord as we bath in your presence, Amen."
