Sunday Sip: Zechariah 9:12 – Prisoner of Hope
I posted this today on my other 2 blogs –Mothering Matters and Empower Network.
I know that lately I’ve been the wrong type of prisoner.
I’m ready to switch “prisons” today! How about you?
“Return to your fortress, O prisoners of HOPE; even now I announce that I will restore TWICE as much to you!”– Zechariah 9:12
Are you a Prisoner?
What are you a prisoner of today?
Hope? or Hopelessness?
Be a “prisoner of Hope” today – in whatever situation you are in!
Remember – hope is an attitude that you choose – not a feeling.
When you choose to partner with hope, instead of hopelessness, it’s like using the diving board into a pool of faith.
You don’t wait to “feel” hope (or faith) – but you “choose” it – you choose to believe God’s words, promises and truth instead of choosing to believe Satan’s lies, struggles, and obstacles he throws your way! When you choose it – it’s like choosing to jump off that diving board – and into faith . . . Faith in what God has promised you; Faith in what God can do; Faith in the Word of God . . . and more!
And what does that word above say? “I will restore TWICE as much to you!”
Did you hear that? TWICE as much . . . restored!
Who are you going to give permission to work in your life today – God or Satan?
Who are you going to believe?
