Christ in you, the hope of glory!
Hope. Someone has said that you can live 40 days without food, about 5 days without water, around 5-8 minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope. I mean really live!
If someone watched your life today and chronicled how you invest your time, what gets the attention of your checkbook, how you relate to people, and even if they could see into what occupies your thoughts - what would they say that your hope is in?
"Larry Damerval is an amazing father and husband who spent his days working for an energy company as an accountant, living a "normal" life. Little did he know how quickly things could change. Now he's suffering from Lou Gehrig's Disease. At only forty-two years old, he has been told he could die at any time. Despite his diagnosis, he is doing everything he can to make each and every moment count."
If you have the courage to think about your life . . . and your hope . . . I encourage you to check out this amazing video - Larry's video.
Why do we tend to put our hope in so many other things? What are the trade-offs we make in our life when we hope in anything besides Jesus? Let us know what you think?
