My Hope

     My hope is in my Abba.  I have been praying more for others again and getting outside my own head space.  I have taken into account good counsel when I have gotten discouraged because I thought I would be packing my bags and on my way by now.  Things do not happen in our timing, but in His.  I know that, but I still keep making plans around what I want.  This week has been a week of testing my heart.  Have I turned something good and pure into something selfish?  It is good to always check your heart to make sure that you are walking with Yahweh and not running ahead.  I have been staying so busy that I forgot to check my heart more frequently.
     I can honestly say that I am not sure about the beginning of the week, but after searching my heart thoroughly, I am sure that I am back on track.  This is about HIM, not ME!  I ask Him to "create in me a pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10).  I want to walk with Him with a pure heart, like a child. 
     For "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" (Isaiah 10:31).  That is my hope.  He is my strength when I am weak. He give me endurance when I want to give up. He loves me and picks me up when I fall or fail.  He is my world.  He is my home.  What I do here is just to glorify Him.
