Hoping2
On our way to church this morning, we passed a truck that had the following license plate: HOPING2. I said to my husband, "Hoping2 what?" It reminded me of my thoughts lately about hoping to lose weight, exercise, and write. Hoping2 make things happen in my life was not working. I needed to make things happen by CHOOSING2 do them.
Hope is great, but without action, it often becomes wishing2, wanting2, or planning2 without results. Psalm 119:114 reminds me to put my hope not in myself, but in God, "You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word."
So rather than HOPING2 have a life worthy of glorifying God, I should instead be PRAYING2 put my life into God's loving hands and rest that He will give me "a hope and a future," but I still must CHOOSE2 step out in faith, believing God for His promises.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Am I wishing2, hoping2, trying2, or wanting2 make a change in my life without praying2 God for His Will for my life?
John15:7~"If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."

ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."
