Thought for the Day by Phil Washington (BH Member)

​A Call to be Something 
‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer’  Romans 12:12
We all long to be something in life don’t we? To make a difference – hopefully for good, in some way or another. Well, here’s a call that we can all obey – a call to be....
 

1. Be Joyful in hope. Our ultimate hope is in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory. That’s a hope that certainly won’t disappoint the true believer. ‘Set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Christ is revealed at His coming’ (1 Peter 1:13). Be joyful in that hope – ponder it often.

 

1. Be Patient in affliction. ‘When will this end?’ we often cry in times of difficulty and affliction. The call here is to be patient in such times. To endure hardships in all it’s manifestations.

 

1. Be Faithful in prayer. Don’t give up praying! Faithfully pray in both worship and intercession. Always keep on praying.

 
Three ‘calls to action’ in one short ‘Thought for the day’. These are all good and blessed things to aim to be in this life.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ
 Phil
