This day started with a reminder from Andy Stanley's preaching podcast in Elevation Church's series Christ Alone with the title "Whole World" which was about how to manage the tension of maintaining hope in a hopeless situation. Do you still persevere with your hope or just give it up? I realized that there are very significant areas of my life in which I have put the ladder of my hope to a wall aside from the unshakable cornerstone of God. And now that those walls are shaking, my hopes are also starting to fall apart. It was a great realization as I have decided to put my hopes back to God.
How timely it is as well that the worship song during the 11 am service is one of the songs that have captured my heart although i havent really heard it being sang in Victory Pioneer before. I have only listened to a part of it during the transition period in one of the podcasts I've heard from Elevation. It was like a confirmation that it was no mistake that I'm consciously putting my hope again back to God. Practically, it's not very easy to apply the "put your hope in God" in my everyday life as I have expectations from other people as well. But God reminds me that even I expect others to do what they're supposed to do, my satisfaction and reward should come from Him alone. Because it's not that i should stop believing in other people's potential, but it's having peace knowing that even their kinetic can happen through God's grace alone.
