disappointment, hope and worship

I was disappointed this week. The cure for disappointment is hope in the eternal Father, Son and Spirit, for "hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Hope is manifested in worship.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -- Romans 15:13

Hope is manifested in worship.

Worship in song. Finding new harmonies. Praise.

Worship in nature. The sun breaking through a cloud formation.

Worship in written expression. Telling a story. Telling His story.

Worship in community. Authentic sharing of life.

Worship in missional living. Sharing Him with a co-worker.

Worship in service. Showing nursery babies love.

Worship in Scripture meditation. Allowing Truth to abide in me.

Worship in prayer. Coming near to the throne of grace.

My hope in Him has been manifested in these offerings of worship this week.
