My restlessness is gone because I'm only waiting for God to act, as he certainly will.
TITUS 2:13 (NLT)
We look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.
THE ESSENCE
Our lives revolve around this hope we hold, that when Christ Jesus is revealed in all his glory, the restoration of the world will be complete.
DAILY FODDER
How is a life lived "with hope" different from a life that is just getting by?
PRAYER
Faithful God, we're grateful for the promised final revelation of our Savior Christ Jesus. Forgive us for holding on to so many short-term possibilities that all seem to unravel with time. Help us to fix our hope on you alone and to live with the confidence that flows from such hope. I'm not going to let the evil, the unfairness, and the deterioration of the world rattle me because I believe with all my heart that you're in the process of restoring all creation. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
