Living Hope

The phrase that caught my eye this morning as I read through 1 Peter - chapter 1 was the simple phrase "living hope." How true is that? That we have a "living hope" and His name is Jesus Christ. What a disappointment a "dead hope" would be!

Verse 4 goes on to speak of our inheritance that the Living Hope has waiting for us in heaven. But how impatient I can be. I want my rewards and my inheritance now - in this life - RIGHT NOW. God help me to wait patiently and to be looking forward with great expectation to my inheritance in heaven.

What words of encouragement did God give you today from 1 Peter?
