Behold Creation. Behold the beauty and expanse of the sky. Behold the transformation of the sky at sunrise, the vibrancy of color and creativity. Behold the new day. Behold the power of God to create the heavens and the earth. In the beholding may you learn to trust, may you feel comfort of the power of God, may you be at peace knowing God holds it all together.

As we go through this life we take a lot for granted. The creation is one of them. We take for granted the every morning the sun rises, and each evening the sun sets. Yet God is faithful to give us just what is needed to sustain our lives. Let's walk by faith today, and trust the God who holds creation in the palm of his hands.

We will read Jeremiah 32:7.

Romans 1:23 tells of those who exchange the glory of God - who fixed their eyes on what was seen - for the glory of what was visible. May we fix our eyes on Jesus - though we cannot see Him with our eyes - we know He is with us. May our understanding of God's glory rise as we seek His face above the things that are visible.

This week on Cup of Hope we are talking about living by faith & not by sight - and this idea of God's glory. God's glory - the honor that He is due - we give to him by how we respond, how we behave, how we think & live our lives. Let's bring him glory this week as we study and read from Romans 1.

Today's verse will be Romans 1:23.

Wisdom. What is it? How do we know if we have it? Well, according to Paul in his letter to the Roman church, he identifies that there were a lot of "knowledgeable" people. People who knew God, but did not have HIS wisdom. Wisdom is demonstrated through actions. It's one thing to have the head knowledge, yet another thing completely to employ the knowledge. Having wisdom is not about "fixing" others and their issues, or our own. 

My prayer for us is that we would not allow knowledge to get in the way of wisdom. Knowing God & knowing His word, yet not being transformed by the power of God's word & truth. Praying that we do not become as Paul describes- "Claiming to be wise, they became fools."

Do you know God? Do you know and trust that He is at work? How does this knowledge of him translate into how you live, think, behave and talk?

This week on Cup of Hope we are talking about living by faith & not by sight - and this idea of God's glory. God's glory - the honor that He is due - we give to him by how we respond, how we behave, how we think & live our lives. Let's bring him glory this week as we study and read from Romans 1.

Today's verse will be Romans 1:21.

The gift of salvation is untouchable. There is not greater gift that we can receive than the gift of salvation. However, as the "honeymoon" phase of salvation wears off, sometimes the excitement and joy of our salvation wears off. 

One way to keep the joy from wearing off, or to rebirth the joy is the recount all that God has done - and share his goodness, the goodness of giving us the opportunity to experience freedom from sin, death, guilt, shame and the heaviness of this life.

God takes the bricks that are piled up on our shoulders and casts them off. Join us today on Cup of Hope and meet Jesus for the first time or take time to remember the God of your salvation and share your story with someone.

Psalm 40:10 and Psalm 71:15 encourage us to TELL the WORLD of the gift of salvation!

Salvation is a gift from God. It is a gift that only he can give. It is a gift to be received. We can choose to know the gift exists - yet not receive it. Not believe that it is true for us, and therefore miss out on the benefits & blessings of the gift.

In Psalm 62:1 & 7 David writes of the blessings of the gift of salvation. He knew where his salvation came from. And he felt, lived and walked in the blessings of salvation from God.  In salvation he found rest, he stood on a solid foundation for his life and he experienced refuge. 

Through salvation God was his rest, foundation and refuge.  May we experience the same blessings and benefits that David did!

Join us today on Cup of Hope and glean from this example of David what God has for you and your life and what we can learn about the character of God!

Salvation is about faith. It's about putting faith in something we can't see - but trusting and believing in the fact that Jesus washes away our sin. We get to be in relationship with God.

On this episode of Cup of Hope we discuss Romans 1:16-17 which talks about the righteous walk by faith. And it is the power of God that gives us salvation. Salvation by faith.

Join us, reflect, respond, be renewed in mind body & spirit.

We are promised - and we can attest to the fact that we will walk through many trials.

Today we take a look at James 1:4 where we learn that endurance perfects in us our lack of nothing. As our faith muscles grow, so does the muscle memory, and we can endure through hard times with greater resilience. Join us today and let your cup be filled up!

We are promised - and we can attest to the fact that we will walk through many trials. Trials can be big and life altering. They can be smaller but still change thinking or behavior. Or affirm our faith.

Today we take a look at James 1:2-3 where we learn that trials produce in us endurance. Trials are like weights in weightlifting - the give us muscles of faith.

God is faithful. Sometimes we forget just how faithful he is. But when we look at sculpture we can see He is faithful to give us just what is needed.  Listen to the lyrics of the song and to the words of the verses and be encouraged to know that God is with you!
