Traveling home from a soccer game yesterday, it was quiet in the car. This song played on the radio; Know You Will by Hillsong. Hearing it for the first time, I listened close. Some of the lyrics sing; “You’ve been good on every promise, from Eden to Zion, through every dead end, and out of that grave, I don’t know how you make a way, but I know you will”. This song makes me think about Joshua 21:45 and how all of God’s promises are fulfilled.

Over the last few weeks a lot has happened with COVID ramping back up, a lot of viral sickness going around, friends and family in the hospital. My heart has been heavy. As I got off early Friday for the weekend, I went for a run and enjoyed the sun as it was setting. The sun continues to rise and fall. This beautiful image of the sun shining between the trees and WOW, God created that! The way made between Eden to Zion is the same way today. As we worship on this Spiritual Sunday, worship with unswervingly hope. We read in Hebrews 10:23 NIV; “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Unswervingly, meaning to stay steady. Where would we be without scripture to look back on and hope to look forward with?

My 2022 mantra is to; “Live for today”. We also must hope for today. May our hope shine bright for those who just don’t see it.
