Eternal Hope
‘do not move from the hope held out in the gospel’
(Colossians 1:23)
Hope is a funny thing. I guess it is our way of taming the chaos of the future.
However, we all know that even the best hopes may not come to pass.
Even the best of human promises are fragile.
But if we remember that when you know Jesus, you are able to rely on the promises
of the God who never fails, who never sleeps, who never wavers in his love,
then we can have real hope. You can say, ‘My future is Jesus’
and that is a hope which cannot be taken away from you.
Questions for thought: What are my hopes? Who is my hope?
Heavenly Father we give thanks for the Mothers’ Union in the Northern Territory and for
Pamela Powell, the Diocesan president. Even though it is a small branch we pray for them as
they support marriage and family life particularly amongst indigenous peoples. May your
name be honoured in all they do.
