HOPE INTENSIFIED.

Our sense of the future .....can become intensified as we grow in our hope of living with God forever..{quote from Wayne Grudem,systematic doctrine(the book)in reading) of Scripture and Prayer,our moral sense can become greater.Study the references such as 2nd Corinthians chapter 7:vs 1,1st Peter 1:16. We are to perfect our holiness,in the fear of God.Paul was showing through his preaching the source of his comfort in his afflictions.Are we doing that,or have become weak,and non interested? I say the latter. All my Christian brothers and sisters need reminding on a daily,weekly basis. I need reminding as well. The more i study,the more i feel the need to pray,and praise God.
The more i do this the more my hope is intensified.How can we raise children,feel the pain of our fellow brethren and sisters in the Lord,and function daily in our lives,without regarding God? There are so many to pray for,so many to help.You can research the book of Joel,one of the minor prophets,in the first 2 chapters.Its a story of sin and disobedience,and the need for men to repent.It also speaks of God himself repenting of evil He allowed to befall the nation of Israel.This is just one story out of many in the Bible that shows Gods judgement and then His mercy.Wow i could talk,write,pray and praise and never stop.Much to do in service for the Lord and His Kingdom before i die.Or before He raptures me.
My Prayer. I will fast and mourn,i will tear my heart and return to you.I know you are merciful,and forgiving,i pray you will forgive me and change your mind and not destroy me.Maybe i will see your blessings again.(A prayer from the Pray the scripture bible) AMEN.
