As I sit here with my pup on my lap, rereading Genesis, this year with Peterson's "Message", I am thrilled to think of promises yet to come. That's what hope does when allowed time to mature!
"Yes. I’ll stay with you, I’ll protect you wherever you go, and I’ll bring you back to this very ground. I’ll stick with you until I’ve done everything I promised you.” Jacob woke up from his sleep. He said, “God is in this place—truly. And I didn’t even know it!”
Genesis 28:13-17 MSG
Pardon my early morning cherry picking, as I get excited! Life is what your own hope delivers! "Now there abideth three things faith, hope and love".
As your personal faith matures, true hope arises and in that hope, love then overtakes you; and Love, who is God, fulfills all of your life's promises, even those you might not live to see, at least not with physical eyes!
You are a 'piece' of God that passes understanding, but it's a multi-generational thing, so hang in there!
My life is a testimony, trust me!
