Hope for Today

When growing up, a common slogan often said is “live for today and hope for tomorrow.” Today, another more common phrase recognizes two differing categories of people, the “haves and have-nots.” If we live for material wealth and allow the world to define our worth, we’re in trouble and living life out on a limb. Material wealth passes away, but spiritual wealth is being in a rich relationship with Christ Jesus as Savior, Master, and Lord, for all eternity.

Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (NIV) We have the promise of an abundant life and God promises to provide our every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Job is an interesting book in the Bible. Some find the account of Job unlike God because He allows Satan to cause His servant Job to suffer. To the contrary, God accomplishes His divine purpose for the pain and suffering that Job and his family endured. The account of Job's wife, whose name we don't know, indicates she walked alongside her husband until she could bear no more. In the midst of her despair, she suggested that Job curse God and die!  Her counsel wasn't the best; she had lost sight of who God is. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."(NIV) Join us Tuesday, June 29, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we explore and discuss the account of Mrs. Job and the importance of words of wisdom and Godly counsel despite the circumstances.

The Book of Esther was written in the 5th Century BC. It’s nestled in between the Book of Nehemiah and the Book of Job in the Protestant Bible. During our last podcast, we dissected the story of Vashti the Queen of Persia. Vashti was dethroned and Queen Esther, a Jewish young woman, was chosen as her successor. God positioned Esther to be used in His master plan to save the Jewish people. There are four main characters in the Book of Esther, God, who is not mentioned, but clearly in the midst of it all; Xerxes, King of Persia; Mordecai, Esther’s cousin; and Haman, chief minister to King Xerxes. Esther is the “star” of the story, but their lives are intricately interwoven. Join us Tuesday, June 15, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we explore and discuss the story of Queen Esther.

Vashti was Queen of Persia and the first wife of Ahasuerus (Xerxes), King of Persia. She was fair to look upon. Her husband, the King was wealthy. He gloated in his wealth for six months. At the conclusion of this eventful lifestyle, he held one last feast of seven days. During this feast, King Ahasuerus summoned for Vashti, his wife. He wanted her to parade before the princes and nobles of all his provinces to show off her beauty. Queen Vashti refused to do so and was dethroned. This remarkable story is recorded in chapter 1 of the Book of Esther. God has a master plan for all of us. Sometimes we don’t know how His plans for our lives are interwoven into His plans for the lives of others. God in His infinite wisdom, allowed Queen Vashti to be dethroned so Queen Esther would become Queen of Persia at the right time for the right reason. Join us Tuesday, May 4, at 3:30PM, PDT,as we dissect Queen Vashti’s choice that led to her dethroning.

How often do we pray, "Lord, thy will be done?" What is the will of God? The short answer is it can be found in the Bible. We don’t have to search for God's sovereign will as if it's unattainable; we just need to discover His will within Scripture and apply them to our lives. God has revealed His will, precept upon pecept, to let us know what is right and true, and pleasing to Him. In II Tim. 3:16-17 (NIV) it says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."As followers of Christ, we should desire and pray for God's sovereign will to be complete in our lives. God in His infinite wisdom, mercy and grace, has absolute control and care over our souls! Join us Tuesday, March 23, at 3:30 PM, PDT,as we further discuss the will of God.

God transcends space and time, yet time belongs to Him. We cannot speed up nor delay time. He ordains the seasons of life. Our life belongs to Him.  We are in His mighty hands!  We cannot change the earthly seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. All of God's creation serves a purpose for such a time as this.  God is still speaking and letting us know time is of the essence. What season of life are you in?  Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens...."  God is not random; there is great comfort in knowing that God is a God of order.  Join us Tuesday, March 9, at 3:30 PM, PST, as we further discuss time, activities and the seasons of life. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

God allows us to choose life or death! He gives us the free choice and free will to live our lives the way we desire. But, of course, God's desire for us is to choose life. When we love and obey Him, we will say "yes." And through that growth process, we become closer and closer to Him.

Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV) says, "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;"

Imagine this, God allows us to make choices! He gives us the free choice and free will to live our lives the way we desire. But, of course God desires that we would choose to love and obey Him. When our hearts are turned toward God, then making decisions that honor Him are possible. Ephesians 1:11 (NKJV) says,11 "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory."

As a believer in Christ Jesus, a call to service is a delight! Whether ordained clergy or not, God desires that all be laborers in His kingdom. When God gives us an assignment, He equips us to carry out His work. His calling always includes a concern about others and the condition of their souls.  Ministry is not merely something we can do, but something we must do. How does one know when God is calling? It is when we see the collaborative working of God's divine purpose uniting with our willingness to go. Isaiah 6:8 (NKJV) says, "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Join us Tuesday, January 26, 2021, at 3:30 PM, PST.  Evangelist Judy Harris, our special guest, will share her story about her call and response into a life of ministry. To speak with the host call in (646) 668-2946 Hope4Todayis an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

It becomes an overwhelming obsession without escape.

Ephesians 4:1-3 (NKJV) says, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
