“13-
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14- Who gave himself
for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a
peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:13- 14 KJV)
Hope is what we are
longing and looking for, especially in this tough days and bad economy. The
world seems to be hopeless due to financial problems and the world conflicts. Hope according to Webster’s Dictionary
is “a desire of some good, accompanied with a belief that it is attainable.” And “Looking” according to Webster’s Dictionary-
“To direct the eye so as to see; To gaze; To expect; To appear; To see; To
express by a look.” I don’t know what your definition
of hope and looking. But you cannot deny the feelings, the urge, and the desire
of our heart to look forward and to hope for...
Do you express your duty to God and your love for Him in obedience
and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? We owe God our belief and our
acknowledgment of His holiness, His nature and the faith and hope that we have
in Him. The Lord looks down on us, and He is preparing for his coming; we ought
to look up to Him with expectation of our blessed hope. We need to express our
love, and our fear to God knowing that He is our only hope. I know what it
meant to be hopeless, but God don’t want us to remain hopeless. Before He died
and went up to heaven; He left His disciples the words of encouragement when
Jesus said; “1- Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also
in me. 2- In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:1- 2 KJV)
