Truly blessed is he who has never stood hopeless on one of life’s darkest nights, and searched for a tiny glimmer of hope. When we stand beneath a starless sky, or cower in hopelessness as storm clouds turn our day to night, where do we find the strength to believe, and the faith to hope again? Where do we turn to reclaim the lost joy that will bring light back into our lives? There is but one place for us to turn, and that is to the Lord. We cry out to Him with tears of desperation, and patiently wait upon Him with a strength that only His Holy Spirit can brings to us. We trust in our hope’s return, and have faith in Him, our strong tower, while we wait for the glow of the Lord’s righteous return.

As we age, and our bodies begin to show signs of mortality, it is easy for the suffering believer to lose sight of the fact that this inevitable physical aging is not a total fading away, but one of the body only. Our daily pains, and other age related encumbrances can cause us to focus our attention on what ails us physically each day, and to lose sight of the spiritual growth, and renewal that we are experiencing at the very same moment. Today let’s redirect our attention away from what the world is reclaiming, and take heart in what Jesus, and the Spirit are renewing, and increasing further, as they prepare us for eternity with God.
