Title: Hope!

-
And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee. Psalm 39:7 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.39.7.KJV
Devotion: The four letter word - HOPE is well discussed on the Bible and it is a bit different from hope of the everyday discussion. Hope as in the Bible is again different from optimism in that hope here is deeper and not based on animated material things; the biblical hope is in God. 
 While optimism is for example - I don't have job but hopefully will secure job one day. But when my hope is in God I expect a future when Jesus will come and right the wrong that made me jobless in the first instance, a corrupt free world, a place where there will be no sickness, no evil, no wars etc. So my hope in Jesus is deeper and difficult to understand for those who have not given their lives to Christ. One needs Holy Spirit to interpret the words and to guide us to have hope in God. 
 The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is our HOPE OF GLORY which is the most important Christian pursuit in life. This is what we must ensure we achieve, everyother thing is secondary. We look back to Jesus for a better hope in the future. May God interprete His word in our hearts in Jesus name. 
 Lord Jesus I thank you for this beautiful day and the hope you give me to accept it, let the day be blessed in your name to bring joy and happiness to peoples of the world. Let those in war be saved, provide for the poor and give them succor while not forgetting the rich as well. Let your peace that surpasses human understanding prevail all over the world I ask in Jesus mighty name.
 Dear reader rejoice with me and pray for me on my birthday today. Thank you for reading the devotionals you encourage me to do more when you read it and give me feedback. Be blessed in Jesus name amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
