My Hope Is In God

Midst myriad manifestations of last days’ signs, manifold Yearning for the Saviour’s blessed coming is my hope; verily yes… Hope* anchored by divine assurance, smiting helplessness Offers sublime serenity along optimism opulence Peace that props moving-on pursuits, propelling progress Exudes exuberance to face challenges through God’s enablement… Indeed welcoming tomorrow with divine conquering instinct Surely awakened toward victory by the Holy Spirit… I invoke the Almighty in faith for pardon of guilt and iniquity Nourished with His assurance-fulfillment, faltering never… Grace-bestowed, love-endowed beyond wishes good and grand Opportunities for doing things better I shall optimize Driven to reach out with bliss as the Lord blesses my days… Nurtured well for service-stewardship, I strive to prosper nonetheless Ordered by my Sovereign Father, omniscient and omnipotent Thankful to triumph with His truth against fatalism-turmoil… Inevitabilities I accept as realities not unknown to Christ Who is infallible Now and always, my spirit relies in Him against nay and naught negating… Forever grateful to the Creator-Master for freedom’s functionality Actively affirming decisive choice against fatalistic frustration-angst Toiling hard, trusting the Providence while overtaking trials tenaciously... Enjoying am I to exemplify empowered existence! *Psalm 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
