HopeWorks Devotional #1 (9/28/22)

HopeWorks

My vision for this is rooted in two Scriptures:

Proverbs 22:6 (My translation): Train up children to head in the best direction, and when they get older they won’t be lost.

John 10:10 - The devil comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy. I (Jesus) came so you can have abundant life that lasts all of eternity.

John Calvin (16th C): Our course in the world is like a dangerous sailing between many rocks, and exposed to many storms and tempests, and so no one arrives at the port except he who has escaped a thousand deaths. It is certain that we are guided by God’s hand, and that we are in no danger of shipwreck as long as we have him as our Pilot.

Some say Jesus is their co-pilot. This is flawed…Jesus is best as our pilot! I long for you to know him…but even more, HE longs to connect to YOU! He is just perfect…and he loves you more than anyone else in the universe!

Pilot taking off analogy - DFW, etc.
