DAY 7 - A Blessed Hope Amid Uncertainty

Day 7

Read: Titus 2:11-15

Titus 2:11 says “For the grace of God has appeared to bring salvation to all men”. We are living in the end times. Look at the world, it has come to a standstill. A time when the whole world is humbled, and man has been rendered powerless. God is above all; He is above man’s achievements and his boasting. He has the final word.      www.newhopetv.org

In the midst of the darkest hour, Paul says, we have a blessed hope. Blessed implies being joyful, content, peaceful, happy and pleasant. This blessed hope is that Christ is coming in glory. This is not a time of mourning or grieving. We are sad at the things happening around us, but we do not allow it to rob us of our joy and peace. Never cease to celebrate the blessed hope of the more glorious thing that is to come: Christ coming in glory.

Focus not on the death toll but on the glorious life in Christ. Do not be glued to the television feeding your mind with the gloom around that leads to fear and hopelessness. Rather fill your mind with the hope we have in Christ. Eagerly await His voice, the trumpet sound and His coming in glory.

We must be aware of our surroundings, and not be indifferent but we must also choose to be happy, to appreciate the smallest of blessings. Thank God for technology that allows us to keep in touch with people. Use this time to reach out to those who are lonely, pray for them, rekindle friendships, bring joy and hope, encourage one another, express gratitude for the people who have influenced you in the faith. Reach out and make others happy. In all your conversations bring light, love and hope.

Above all, look forward to the trumpet sound. He will come in glory and may this truth fill you with joy and excitement!  

:: Prayer ::

Dear Father, we thank you for the blessed hope that gives us joy in the midst of difficult situations. You are in control and will take care. There is nothing that surprises You. Make us a blessing to many even today. In Jesus name, Amen.

             Day 15  Read: John 20:19-23 Christ has destroyed the power of death through His work on the cross and His resurrecton. He is risen and He is with us. The disciples stayed behind locked doors in fear and isolaton afer Jesus was crucifed. The frst words Jesus spoke to them was, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19) And my peace I give unto you” (John 16:33). The Lord wants us to be in absolute peace and contentment. The word ‘Shalom’ implies absolute harmony, lacking nothing!                       www.newhopetv.org In the midst of the Coronavirus situaton, Jesus tells us to be at peace. We live discouraged, disheartened, disconnected lives, lacking joy in our relatonships. But in Jesus, we are more than conquerors. We can live in peace and harmony. During this tme of lockdown, may we refuse to show frustraton and biterness especially with our loved ones. In the peace that Jesus gives us, we can be victorious in every situaton. You need not be afraid because you can be at peace w

DAY 32 - God At Work

                            DAY 32 Read: Genesis 37:31-36 Psalm 53:5 says, they feared where no fear had been. Joseph’s brothers sold him off and informed their father that Joseph had been eaten by the wild animals. Jacob on hearing this news tore his clothes put on sack cloth and was a broken man. He refused to be comforted. Meanwhile, God was working in an amazing way. Joseph was taken by Potiphar, the captain in Pharaoh’s army. While Jacob wept, God was working out His plan.      www.newhopetv.org Often when we think all is lost and there is nothing to look forward to, God is still at work. He will fulfill His promises. He is in control of everything. Jacob was weeping for his son Joseph thinking he was dead while God was raising him up. Trust God to be true to His promises.  To be continuously sad is rebellion and disobedience toward God. :: Prayer :: Forgive us for weeping, grieving, being anxious, afraid and worried. You are working behind the scenes to make something beautiful

DAY 34 - Be A Blessing

                              DAY 34 Read: Genesis 40:1-8 Another important virtue we see in Joseph is his concern for the people around him. In Genesis 40:6, the cupbearer and baker are in prison and are dejected. Joseph asks them the reason and is led to help them. Though Joseph himself had enough problems of his own: being sold by his brothers, falsely accused, put in prison, he still chose to think of others. Look out for people who are suffering, it makes our dark periods lighter, it helps to shift the focus from ourselves to others. It makes us think less about ourselves and more about the needs of others. As Paul exhorts us, we need to look out for the interests of others. As we see in Job 42:10, God waited, as Job moved from his suffering to interceding and then to restoration.          As the renowned cardiologist, professional educator and author Dr. B.M. Hegde says that  “ I” “I” leads to Illness;  “ We “ We ” leads to Wellness/Wholeness/Health. Let us not be lost in self-pi
