A Very Happy Thankful Thursday
Reflections After The Rain
It's more wonderful than odd
When even a dirty street
Reflects the glory of our God

So beautiful1, Amy! Love the quote...AMEN
We had missed the good rains others in Texas had this month.
I turned on the outdoor floodlight and watched it pour!
Praying for California to get relief from the terrible drought.

Hope Lives April 24, 2015
Your faith, being much more precious than gold . . . may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:7
When unspeakable tragedy shatters peoples lives, they search for answers. Recently, a mother who had lost a teenager said to me, I cant figure it out. I dont know if I can believe anymore. I try, but God doesnt make sense to me. What does it all mean? There are no easy answers to such big concerns. But for those who have trusted Christ, there is hopewhether we are basking in blessings or grinding through grief.
Peter spells this out in his first letter. In glowing terms, he praises God for our new birth into a living hope (1 Peter 1:3 niv) through our salvation. That hope can bring joy even in the middle of tragedy. He also assures us of the permanence of this hope (v.4). He then tells us of the heart-breaking reality that we may suffer grief in all kinds of trials (v.6 niv). Those who have suffered loss turn hopeful hearts toward Peters next words: These come so that your faith . . . may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (v.7).
Trialsseemingly random and inexplicablecan be seen differently in the light of these words. In the midst of tragedy, the power and beauty of our salvation can shine through because of our great Savior. And that may be just enough light to get a troubled person through another day.
Lord, You assure us that the grand salvation You provided is proved genuine in our pain and that it leads to glory for You. Help us to begin each new day with renewed hope in You.
The light of salvation shines clearly even in the darkest night.
: The hope that Peter describes in todays reading is also a major theme of Pauls letter to the Romans. In Romans 5:5 he describes this hope as a reality that flows from our growth in Christ. In Romans 8 he discusses our hope as something we anticipate from our salvation. Romans 12:12 reminds us that hope is grounds for great joy. Romans 15 describes hope as something we learn through trials, yet something that is characteristic of our God (v. 13). Clearly, to Paul and to Peter, hope is very important in the life of faith.
