“But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with
patience’’. Romans 8:25
All over the world, poor
or rich, we normally draft a scale of preference list to make life comfortable
and meaningful. At times we end up not getting all the items on list. When we
do not get, we optioned for a more relative substitute by forgoing certain items
on the list. Since we are familiar with substituting product, on occasions we
purchase badly because we did not gather patience to comb around for the
original items.
Narrowing this to
Christianity, we cannot live in hope without patience. Hope is certainty in the
present and firm expectation for the future. This requires patience. Those with
hope without patience fail to endure to the end. But those with both hope and
patience meet their expectation. What are you hoping for?
There was a certain concubine
named Hannah in the Bible. Her arrival, Peninnah had children but she did not.
Despite such terrible treatment, she lived on hope. What were the symptoms of
hopeful Hannah?
1. She was hopeful to the
end;
“Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering,
persist in prayer’’ Romans 12:12. Hannah in her situation had courage,
faith, trust, strength to endure the suffering with hope.
2. Hannah loved God
despite her barrenness. Due that she was blessed with the child. Romans 8:28 tell us “and we know that all things work together for good
for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose’’. With
faith; am also called according God’s purpose.
3. She was prayerful. Hannah, married to
Elkanah prayed consistently and fervently hoping for the Lord grant her family
a child. Already God had a promised them a child. “She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly” 1
Samuel 1:10
4. Hannah had the spirit
of patience. Through hope, patience and love for God, the Lord granted their
request “after some time, Hannah
conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, because she said, “I
requested him from the LORD.” 1 Samuel 1:20
Beloved let us continue to rejoice, love, pray and wait patiently
for God to act despite whatever the situation might be.
I believe you have been
touched by this piece also. If so, share it to friends all over to know the
truth and God bless you for such an effort
