Turn the Wishes into Trust-ins - October 16, 2009

Good Friday morning! Today we have a 'wish-for' attitude. As in: I wish for a winning lottery ticket to secure my finances, and other idle wishes that very seldom come true. Last night, Burt and I watched a football game where the announcer kind of fell in love with the term "pick 6". The term is probably not of his making, but is one that has swept our society. We need to turn the 'wish-fors' into 'trust ins', as in: I trust in God. Too many solutions present themselves in response to our wishes. So often that we sometimes lump wishes and hopes together. In Christ, a hope is not something way out on the rim of possibility. A hope is something assured that we are simply waiting for and don't know the exact date and time of its arrival. We trust in God's word that Jesus will arrive at the exact time and date that God has set. No wishing, just a solid hope and trust in our Father in Heaven!

Have a wonderful Friday. The wind may blow, but the cold of the past days has blown away for a spell. We may get another storm next week, but that is next week's worry. Today, we'll enjoy what God has sent for this day.

God's love to you on this fine Friday!

Bucky
