Hope

What a wonderful word hope is. The dictionary says: expect, trust, anticipate, wish, look forward to. There are so many things in life to be excited about, but walking with the Lord is the most exciting. My OT life verse is Isaiah 40:31(NIV): "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." I'm full of hope - expecting, trusting, anticipating, wishing, and looking forward to the great things God has in store. This morning we sang "I Can Only Imagine" which is one of my favorites - I actually light up and feel like my soul is soaring. (I'm sure I'm levitating - just no one on earth can see it. Some of our worship team told me this morning that when we sing this song they have to look at me - they say my face just shows I'm soaring.) It is with hope that I look forward to being in God's presence in Heaven - worshipping Him, loving Him, and enjoying time with Him - "will I dance for You, Jesus? Or in awe of You be still?" God is awesome and it is with HOPE (trust, anticipation, etc.) that I look forward to what God has planned for me tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that! Hope in the Lord and walk with Him daily - there is nothing greater in life - He is life...
