READ: REV. 21:7; I COR. 13:12; ISAIAH 40:4
You can live this life without a lot of things, but you cannot survive without hope. Hope that tomorrow will be better than today. Hope that no matter what is happening to you right now, there is still a beautiful future for you. Hope that someday truth will prevail, justice will be served, love will conquer hate, and life will triumph over death.
Revelation 21:7 says it’s just a matter of time before every tear is wiped away, before there will be no more crying, mourning, or pain, when everything will be made new. When things happen that leave you befuddled, confused, or trying to understand why, it will be just a matter of time before God brings clarity. I Cor. 13:12 says, “Now we know in part, but one day we shall know fully.” One day clarity will come. If you are discouraged, frustrated, disappointed, and afraid, put your hope in God. Like Isaiah 40:4 says, “It is just a matter of time before every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the rough places shall become level and the rugged places plain.” You see it is just a matter of time. Hope says don’t quit, don’t give in to despair. Put your hope in God, and you will rise again. God is at work. God is faithful. He has a beautiful future for you. It is just a matter of time.
