OUR HOPE IS IN CHRIST
"I will pitch my tent in the land of hope."Acts 2:26
I love The Message translation of Acts 2:26 . I love the imagery because if you have ever been camping you know that where you decide to pitch your tent is a critical decision. If you pitch it on unlevel ground or on rocks it'll be a long night! You also need to make sure you've got all the tent pegs secured.
Here's the question: Where are you pitching your tent?
Too often we pitch our tent in the land of frustration or the land of disappointment or the land of pride or the land of jealousy or the land of pity or the land of anger. We make our dwelling where we have no business being! We need to pitch our tent in the land of hope. That is where we need to hammer our tent pegs. Why? Because God is Sovereign. And He has good things in store for us! How? The promises of God are the tent pegs. And prayer is the hammer!
When you book a hike on the Inca Trail you have porters who pitch your tents for you.They also make you breakfast. Pack up your tent. Pass you on the trail. And get to your campsite before you. Lunch would already be made and your tent would already be pitched when you get to the campsite they skillfully selected. That is a picture of the Sovereignty of God isn't it? Praise the God who pitches our tents!
