- Audio Issues April 19, 2012Last week I wrote about the filters we all use every day, including the one in our brain. Our brains filter an enormous amount of information every day, and if that filtering ability is compromised that leads to some very annoying consequences. Well, I now know specifically what information my brain isn’t filtering correctly. Sound. […]
- Filters April 13, 2012Motor oil, air intakes, vacuum cleaners, and coffee pots all require filters. Filters are a great way to allow what we want or need to flow through, while blocking what we don’t. They work great when we change them regularly so they don’t get plugged. When we don’t change them they tend to plug, and […]

We know our past, we know where we came from, and we know what we are going through right now. We all hope that we are going to have something better happen soon, especially when we are going through trial, when things seem rough and at the worst. A new beginning, a new start, a new way of doing things, a new place to be, something new in our situation to change the way it is. We don’t know what that might be, when it might come, but we do know one certainly, we have a hope that is certain when we have trusted Christ.
Romans 8:18-21 says "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God." (NIV)
Regardless of what we may endure now, our hope is in Christ and what will occur when our glory is revealed because of the relationship we have with him. To eagerly await what will happen when our glory is revealed when we are set free from the bondage we are currently in helps us realize the magnitude of what Christ did to make it possible. The knowledge that what we are currently experiencing is only temporary and fleeting compared to the amazing future that awaits us can not be considered anything but hope.
Hope. The future for anyone who has trusted Christ. It matters not what might happen now, for hope is what the future holds.
