We glory in tribulations also knowing that tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience and experience hope:
and hope maketh not ashamed…
Romans 5:3-5a
The hope that we have as believers is that one day we will be glorified; we will be like Christ! This hope “maketh not ashamed”. In other words, it does not disappoint! Why not? Because it is based on Jesus blood and righteousness, because God cannot lie, because God is God and He could never disappoint!
A little boy and his father were planning a fishing trip for the next day. That night the father was tucking his son into bed and the little fellow reached up and threw his arms around his daddy’s neck and said, “Thank you for tomorrow, Daddy!” That little boy had a hope that his father would carry through with his plans, and he knew he would not disappoint him.
You and I have an even greater hope if we know Christ as our Savior. We, too, can look into our Father’s face and say, “Thank you for tomorrow!” “Tomorrow” I will not be disappointed because my Father promises to meet my needs, because my Father has gone before me, because He’s leading me home, because all His promises are true. All my tomorrows are secure in Christ.
Whatever it is today that has you a little shaken, concerned or worried, think about what your Father has planned for you tomorrow, then bow before Him and tell Him thank you!
P.S. If a person is trusting in anything other than Christ to get them to heaven, they are being deceived and this deception will lead to a tragic end – hell! Dear Friend, have you placed your faith and hope in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Living Lord Jesus Christ which is evidenced by a definite change in your life? If not, trust Him today and rejoice in the hope that does not disappoint!
