The Importance Of Keeping Our Spirits Strong And Our Hopes High!
I have been challenged on this of late … and I can tell you that I am digging in to assure that I make this a living reality in my heart!

Despite every challenge and beyond every struggle there is a place for us … a place where peace abides and every storm will pass over.

This place is given to all … but only accessed by a few!

What I am referring to is the privilege that we have been given to establish ourselves in Him. To anchor ourselves on His hope and to abide near to His heart.

There is nothing that rivals with this space … and it is a place where our spirits can soar and our hopes can come alive!

I think these words from Habakkuk 2:4, say it well, “But the person in right standing before God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive, really alive.”

This speaks so significantly to the reality that I am seeking to embrace …

The fact is that the right spiritual position will provide promotion and possibility!

BibleTruth published an article entitled “7 Ways To Restore The Joy Of Your Salvation” which accentuates the importance of keeping our spirits strong and our hopes high!

“The most exciting thing about the Christian life is an eager expectation for the will of God to be revealed. David dared to express this expectation … even after a time of utter failure.”

Somehow David knew that he could be powerfully restored … and indeed he was … and he learned the lesson that we seek to embrace …

The article goes on to make this critical point, “This happens to Christians of all ages, at all phases of their lives, and at all stages of maturity in their faith. Sometimes it’s our fault and sometimes it is caused by circumstances. It happens to the Christian, after the emotional high of salvation has passed, when the reality of living starts to weigh them down. It happens to the Christian who is overwhelmed by circumstances in their life. It happens to the Christian who just gets tired and worn out and they become stale and rote. Wherever you are in life and whatever the cause, the most important thing to realize is that this is common, it happens to everyone, and sooner or later it will happen to you.”

This is the reality, so we are compelled to be proactive and intentional about maintaining our spiritual position and all the more determined to keep things right … because the results are worth it!

When our spirits are strong and our hopes are high …

▪ We will win His favor and blessing
▪ We will walk confidently in all things
▪ We will wholeheartedly fulfill His mission
▪ We will watch mountains crumble
▪ We will withstand the winds of adversity
▪ We will welcome every battle
▪ We will do whatever it takes

All of this is ours because we choose to say yes …
