This day with God will be amazing because we can examine our hopes and dreams and let God take them to a level that we never dreamed of. Reading today in 1 Kings 8:22-53, the characteristics of God described in Solomon’s prayer are a God of keeping promises. A God that hears our prayers, who loves us, and is forgiving.

Today’s passage points out that it is necessary to admit mistakes and ask for forgiveness in order to enter into His presence. Today, we know that by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior, we have access to the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction.

Solomon prayed not only for himself, but the people of Israel. In the same way, we should pray for our family, our friends, and associates. We need to keep in mind that our world presents many issues that are difficult to solve. But this day, we maintain hope because out of the blue and unexpectedly, a solution may come.

Keep praying and praising even in the storms because God’s promises are the beginning of hope that will shape the future. By putting our hope in God, every day will be amazing. God will take our hopes and dreams to a higher level beyond what could be imagined.

Lord … sometimes we feel that we are running on empty. We need hope that only You can provide. We face problems and issues that seem impossible to solve but You are God of possible. The fuel of hope pushes us to step ahead towards a new solution and we keep praying and praising with a hope that shapes our future. Amen.
