We Don’t Need To Be Defensive

“So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance;” - Luke 21:14

Many of us spend a lot of time and energy worrying about what’s going to happen. We worry about defending our name, our honor, our reputation, our pride.

We worry about being disappointed by the people around us. We worry about being betrayed by the people we most care about.

We spend so much effort and energy protecting and defending ourselves that we don’t have any left to put into becoming who we are meant to be.

Luke 21 doesn’t say these things we fear aren’t going to happen to us. Just the opposite, Luke 21 declares that we will at times be hurt, disappointed, and betrayed, and often by the people closest to us.

But the gospel also declares that we will be ok, that God will guide us through. The chaos of the world around us will not shake the peace of the world within us. And “not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.”

God’s got this. We don’t need to be defensive.

God Answers The Prayers We Don’t Know To Pray

“Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear.” - Isaiah 65:24

Sometimes life has us all twisted. I could use another phrase, but I’m not going to drop any expletives today.

Sometimes we know something is wrong but we have no idea how to make it right.

If we have an idea of how to make it right, we don’t know where to begin.

If we have an idea of how to begin, we don’t know how to find the people and resources to see it through.

And if we know and have all those things, we sometimes still can’t seem to get out of our own way. We at times seem to lack motivation, character, and discipline to follow through.

God knows all this about us already. God guides our footsteps when we don’t know the way. God open doors that we cannot see and did not seek. God gives us the strength that we do not have.

God answers the prayers we do not know to pray.

These Troubles Will Soon Be Forgotten

“For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.” -Isaiah 65:17

Some of us are so tired, so discouraged, so overwhelmed that we feel like giving up. What’s going on within us, what’s going on in the world around us, it seems like too much sometimes.

The prophetic words of Isaiah 65:17 are written for such times. They encourage us to take heart. The power of God is at work within us and around us. The way things are, are not the way they shall always be.

Take heart. God is creating new possibilities and opportunities. God is creating a new reality for us as individuals and for our world.

These current troubles, they’re real, but they will soon be forgotten.

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