Knowing the Hope

 

Ephesians 1:18 - The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 

As I look back over my life, I recognize all the times God was preparing me for the ministry. I see how He orchestrated situations that I could learn more about Him and His will. I realize He placed me in positions where I would learn more about handling different circumstances. 

God is preparing you also for great and mighty things. He is allowing experiences that will grow you into the person He wants you to be. When you begin to understand what God is doing in your life and the many opportunities that are available, all of life takes on greater importance and purpose. 

Hebrews 6:19 - Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, 

Put Christ first, make Him a priority as we are told in Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 

Stay close to the Lord that you will not miss the opportunities God places before you.
