  • We shall not be afraid.
    May 16 2024
    We shall not be afraid.


    “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” - Psalm 46:1-3


    Even if everything around us is falling apart, we shall not be afraid. This ancient song writer invited us to live in trust, to live in faith. Trust that we are loved. Trust that we are never abandoned or forgotten. Trust that that the problems of the moment are in fact momentary.


    The book of Hebrews declares that the just shall live by faith (10:38). We can only be what we have be called to be when we trust our lives to living in the way of love regardless of our circumstances.


    Fear limits us. Fear keeps us from being the best versions of ourselves. Fear makes us angry, bitter, suspicious, and stingy. Trusting that God is our refuge and is an ever present help lets us be just the opposite.

  • Let us have cheerful hearts.
    May 15 2024

    A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22


    We deal with many serious and weighty things. Nevertheless, we must never allow those things to rob us of our joy. We can and should take satisfaction in and from our work and the fruits of our labor.


    As the writer of Ecclesiastes says, “I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all their hard work on earth during the few days of their life that God has given them, for this is their reward. (5:18)


    Let us be intentional in being grateful for everything we have: our friends, family, our food, clothing, and shelter, our health and strength, the opportunity to live and breathe and see and do. Be grateful for our work be that work be done at home or in the marketplace.


    Yes, there will be hard days and even hard seasons. But we can’t allow those to crush our spirits. We must actively look for ways to embrace life particularly when things are hard.


    Let us be determined to go through life with cheerful hearts.

  • Our best days are yet to be written!
    May 15 2024

    Our best days are yet to be written.


    “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” - 1 Peter 5:10


    True optimism is not delusional. True optimism does not live in denial. True optimism is fully cognizant of the difficulties and challenges of the moment. The author of First Peter certainly was.


    Nevertheless, true optimism realizes that we are participating in something far bigger than ourselves. The sense of eternal that the NewTestament writers had was fully grounded in the here and now but extended outwards beyond themselves and beyond their lives.


    They knew that whatever troubles they faced were a comma and not a period. The end of a particular chapter does necessarily not mean the end of the book. And they knew that the best days were yet to be written.


    Just as every night is followed by a dawn. They knew suffering was only for a while. They knew and believed that they would be restored and made strong… And so shall we.


    I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
