The Blessed Hope

The Blessed Hope for which we look, and for which we long, is not the fatalistic, fanciful, fingers-crossed hope of the world, that leaves in its wake hollow emptiness and unfulfilled desires. Our Blessed Hope is knowledge of the truth intertwined with the 'stuff' of faith, which trusts God's Word as fact, and treats the heavenly things, that are invisible to our physical sight, as a indisputable reality.
As we see the day of His glorious appearance advancing quickly, in both the physical world and our own walk of faith, may we be those that stand fast and watch intently for His soon return, as we look for that Blessed Hope and the any-day appearing of the glory of our great and gracious God - Who is Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
"Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,"

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for that Blessed Hope that we have in Jesus. We pray that we may be ever looking to Him in the knowledge that He has promised to come to take us to be with Him in heaven. In Jesus' name we pray that in Your way and in Your time, He will return for His believers and that we would be ready. We pray that the hope that we have in Him would be reignited daily as we look for His soon return. Thank You, Father, and to Him be all the praise and glory, Lord Jesus, AMEN.
