The Hopeful God - A new operating system

This past weekend, I was blessed to be able to take part in a Hope to the Heart retreat through Deeper Waters Ministries.

Not only did the Lord encourage hearts, but also linked hearts in friendship, hope and love!

Yes, challenges are here and are coming, but we know and love a God for whom none of this is a surprise! He is the hopeful God, the God of history as well as present and future! He is the God who knows the answers to all the troubling questions before us and says, "Why do you doubt? I am that I am!"

The new operating system is living out of a place of REST in God, not out of a mandate or out of an assignment...it's not necessarily "new", but since most of us function according to assignments or mandates, it IS a new way of operating. Resting in God, in His faithfulness, His ways and directions that are always, always, always perfect, good and right. God, help us to stay in that place of resting in You, Lord, and moving out in rest.
