Where Is Your Hope?

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
- John 16:33

Jesus assured us that in this world we would have troubles, but He also said that we can have peace in the midst of them, because He has already overcome the world. No affliction is more powerful than our God.

In the same way, He defeated death and is at the Father’s side interceding for us. Christ rose again and continues working on your behalf.

Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
- Romans 8:34

Even in the midst of life’s difficulties, you can believe that God has the best for you and that He will deliver you from any attack of the enemy. Do not rely on your own strength. Place all your hope in the steadfast love of your Lord and Savior!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
- Jeremiah 29:11

Trust that what God has for you is good. Remain firm in the hope that the time of testing will pass, but the abundant life in Christ is eternal.

Are you standing firm in your hope in the Lord?

Yesterday's Word

Be filled with God

Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
- Ephesians 5:18b

Life with God is an invitation to abundance. This call to be filled with the Holy Spirit means we need to fill our lives with God and His Word. We shouldn’t be merely sprinkled with Sunday drops of God’s presence, but completely filled, overflowing with Him.

Seek the Lord every day; long for His presence. Talk to Him about what’s happening in your life and ask what you should do in each situation. The Lord’s presence in our hearts guides us and fills us with joy, knowing that we are never alone, for He is with us.

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
- Psalm 145:18–19

Empty yourself of all bitterness, selfishness, resentment, stress, and sorrow. In doing so, you make room for the gift of God’s Holy Spirit! His Spirit within you will help you stand firm in Him and give you strength to overcome in His name.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
- 1 John 4:13

Live with a heart full of Christ, and let His rivers of peace, joy, and life flow through you to everyone around you.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Teaching that grows and corrodes

Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- Matthew 16:12

Jesus is concerned about what kind of teaching His disciples are receiving. Teaching is not acquired only by sitting in a classroom for hours, but also through daily interaction and conversations. Jesus’ disciples would not gather to listen to just any teacher; Jesus was concerned about the teaching transmitted within their circle of friends, in their environments of fellowship.

Today it is very easy for us to absorb ideas and worldviews that have very little of Christ and no biblical foundation. Unfortunately, these false teachings end up reaching many people and confusing the understanding of those whose fundamental foundations of biblical Truth are not well established.

Remember the warning Jesus Himself left us:

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
- Matthew 24:24

Be attentive to the kind of teaching you expose yourself to. Flee from legalism, false prophets, and distorted teaching based on men and not on Christ (the Scriptures). Of course, you can live alongside people of different faiths, but be active in your responsibility to discern. Hold fast to what is good and aligned with the Word, and discard that which is false teaching.
