Lifting Spirits and stirring Hope!

Lifting Spirits and stirring Hope!

“There are a few things in this issue that should lift spirits and stir hope.”

The editor of the DIRECTIONS Keeping New Zealanders moving magazine is writing that. (Summer 2010)

Lifting spirits and stirring hope!

I am reading a lot about that theme in the Bible, the Word of the Living God. In fact reading the Bible lifts our spirits and stirs our hope!

Right at the beginning of the Gospel of  Luke we find the Song of  Mary. Mary begins her song with:

“‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior….”

My spirit is also rejoicing in God my savior. Is your spirit also rejoicing? I hope you don’t mind me asking that. Here the Bible teaches that God created man a tripartite being. Body, soul and spirit are the three  component parts of man.

Lifting spirits and stirring hope!

The Bible is full of hope:

Our hope is in God and we will never be put to shame.  (Psalm 25:3) Our hope comes from God. (Psalm 62:5)
