“In Due Season, God Brings Hope from His Throne of Grace”

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.” (Luke 2:14)
We have recently entered into the season that is called Covid-19. What does that mean to you . . . a loss of HOPE? Children can hope for Santa whom they really do not know. Families hope for payroll wages to be paid or refund tax checks to be mailed every year. Hope is a powerful verb! God supplied our HOPE for all of humanity, He did it once in the little town of Bethlehem, and He can do it again right here!
God is still in the HOPE supplying business, we still need God to supply HOPE from His Throne to His people but Christmas is not here, really! God has not forgotten us, His spiritual blessings are not seasonal, but most of us think so. Allow your call of expectations find God while He is at work thinking of you. Abide with God, let Him have the honor of this work; sing now the song and recite the scripture: “Glory to God in the Highest.” God's good-will to humankind was manifested when He sent the Messiah, His Son. All works of God are for His glory and the redemption of the world is for His glory in the highest.
The HOPE of Gentiles was found in the Magi from Persia, as they search for the newborn King seeked His Star; shepherds received HOPE from the angels’ announcement about the birth of their King. HOPE is a powerful force in our lives especially now when we need protection from coronaviruses. Seek now HOPE from God’s Throne, He can bring safety, joy, and freedom from the clutches of Covid-19. Those who have been searching for HOPE can truly find it, for those who have been longing for purpose, and the joys that HOPE brings do not have to look any longer. Jesus is the HOPE of the world, and He wants to fill your heart with HOPE.
In His Will,
Pastor Dean
