Faith and Hope

²⁹ “I can guarantee that I won’t drink this wine again until that day when I drink new wine with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Matthew 26:29

A mural near my daddy's grave in South Carolina shows The Lord's Supper. While those around the table saw this as goodbye and it began three days of uncertainty and doubt, this has become a time of hope and faith for us who believe. Hope of a day that will bring us all around the table again, and faith that we can trust God with everything until that day. We trust him with those who have gone before us, those that are with us now and especially our children. God is faithful. He always has been faithful...to me, to my father, to my papa, and to my papa Bryant and that is just one family line. God is faithful throughout all generations. 

Today is Epiphany or Three Kings Day. One of the earliest feasts celebrated by Christians. We celebrate the manifestation of God. Jesus came in human flesh, and now He lives in us. He is our Hope and Peace that assures our faith. May Your Kingdom Come Lord Jesus.

God is faithful, let us faithfully seek Him in all things!

A song I can remember my dad singing as he led worships many years ago called "Come and Dine" holds a precious verse...

 The disciples came to land,

Thus obeying Christ’s command,
For the Master called unto them, “Come and dine”;
There they found their heart’s desire,
Bread and fish upon the fire;
Thus He satisfies the hungry every time.

James 3:18,
