Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Psalm 63:3
The light of hope woven throughout the book of Psalms creates a tapestry of faith that we can use to cover and carry us through our weaknesses and dark cold nights. This tapestry of faith can be used to lower us down into the healing arms of Jesus when we allow friends into our struggle. This tapestry of faith we reach out for so desperately is an emblem of hope and healing when we believe in the power of Jesus' touch. This tapestry of faith is a coat of many colors declaring to the world that we are God’s chosen, holy, royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). This tapestry of faith is swaddling cloth used to comfort and secure us in God’s loving arms. This tapestry of faith is linen cloth used in a burial process to bring us from death to new life and everlasting hope in Jesus Christ.
Look for the little sparks of hope in your life, the details that make up a unique and beautiful tapestry of faith that God has specifically designed for you. It was hand-woven before time began. Live by faith and rely on the little accents of hope God puts on display in your life: open-mouth kisses, heartfelt hugs, and the sweet innocence children exude. Although it can be easy to lose sight of the beauty and magnificence of the tapestry while it is in the mundane process of being woven, cling to the fact that God is good and there is always hope through Christ Jesus.
Dear Jesus,
I praise you for the glimmers of hope you make apparent in my life. Thank you for the gift of my children’s laughter, imaginary play, hugs and kisses, bathtime, stories, and bedtime prayers. May I always cherish these little things and never take a single second of motherhood for granted. In Jesus’ praiseworthy name, amen.
Steps of Faith:
Praise God for his lovingkindness. Glorify him for the glimmers of hope and the tapestry of faith being woven in your everyday life. Make a list of the little glimmers you see in your life and are grateful for.
