JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Promise of Hope is based on Psalm 48:14.
“For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.”
We can cling to God with the assurance that He will never leave us or forsake us.
When we come to a fork in the road, God is there to guide us with His wisdom.
When we need a friend, He is forever faithful.
When we need strength to overcome temptation, God is there with His grace to help us in our time of need.
We needed the hope of heaven, and God provided the way when He sent Jesus into the world to become an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
God’s guidance to the end is a promise of hope for those who follow Jesus in the Year of Trust.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Promise of Hope is based on Zephaniah 3:17.
“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Here we see a picture of God’s people purified in His grace. If there is one thing that can bring comfort to our day, it’s music. It is an art form that can help us experience peace in a turbulent world. And here, God is using music to express His delight in those who belong to Him. He has won victories on their behalf and He has won their heart. There is a great celebration ahead for those who celebrate Jesus.
The enjoyment of Heavenly music is a promise of hope for those who follow Jesus in the Year of Trust.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines Jesus as the Savior of the world.
According to First John 4:14, “We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”
Love was the motivation behind Jesus’ entrance into the world. God recognized that we had a sin problem, and He provided Jesus to be the solution for our sin, so that we might receive forgiveness and eternal life through faith in His name. This salvation is offered to the world and is available to all who call on the name of the Lord.
At the announcement of Jesus’ birth to Joseph, the angel said about Mary, “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Knowing Jesus as our Savior is a reason to trust in God for today and forever.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His blessings.
According to James 1:17, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
God’s gifts to us are blessings that enable us to thrive for the glory of God. We are blessed to receive the perfect gifts of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. There are also good gifts that God provides for us, such as food to sustain us in life, abilities to enable us to serve, and people to encourage us in the faith.
For every blessing, we have an occasion to thank God for His gracious hand.
The good and perfect blessings of God are reasons to trust in God for today and forever.
